Greetings fellow java developers:

I need suggestions for a java solution.

our platform is win2000 sp4, running oracle and java 1.4.x

My company is developing a db based repository for case review.
Documents come in thru a web portal and are index by case number into
the database.

A feature has come up that they want to add to the software. They want
to be able to take emails from clients related to case and insert them
into the document repository in the database. This will give the
customer service an email audit trail from customers.

I thought about setting up an email address and have clients email the
documents to email address. The case number should be in the subject
line. Some automated functionality in the email server would call java
code and insert the email info {to: from: subject: body:
attachment(s)} into the database. Of course i dont know anything about
email servers, java or other wise so this might not be possible :)

Does this sound reasonable?

How do I do it?

Have any of you done it before???

Does it have to be java?
Is sounds like u need an issue tracking system.
Something like bugzilla http://www.bugzilla.org/download.html
or Jira http://www.atlassian.com/
or even roundup http://sourceforge.net/projects/roundup

Actually, Jira might be Java... cant remember.

Using web form ( fields: { from,case,body } ) has some advantages:

- much more easier, in particular not requires email server

- exclude spam related problems

- can provide users identification

- can immediately inform sender about wrong case number,
empty content etc (or selecting appropriate case from list)

- may be activated through link, image or button on correspondent
web page
