According to Strunk and White, any possessive is apostrophe-s, regardless of the last consonant in the word being modified. So James's would technically be correct, even though it seems counterintuitive (to me, anyway).

I have my Chicago Manual of Style on the shelf, but I'm too lazy to pull it down and see what that says.
