When I try to start Apache James 2.3.2.1 using bin/run.bat file in windows 64-bit environment,it throws exception

ERROR   2017-01-13 14:48:18.285 [Phoenix.] (): Component named "users-store" failed to pass through the Starting stage. (Reason: org.apache.avalon.framework.configuration.ConfigurationException: destination>>URL).

I have checked in all config and searched for any properties file referring any such property,but with no luck.

The issue was with the James version being used.I switched over to version 2.3.2,which was working without any hassles.This version was available on James 2.3.2

The issue is mentioned in this post on Jira.Here the reported figured out the issue,due to change in one of the source classes,referring to URL from config.xml file.Quoting from error reporter:

I discovered that by changing the default provided configuration file (apps\james\SAR-INF\config.xml) and adapting And putting a real name there, the original error goes away. Note that it did not happen in James 2.3.2 I had a look in the source code and it's due to this new code in UsersFileRepository
