Unfortunatly... Im not very good with with java... but I'm working on it. However, prepairing for this project, I have written an exchange webdav client in php, so I solidly have the concept. Hopefully, in a few days, i'll have something working in java (so far.... I've made it to a basic http request =P). Wish me luck, and i'll share my results
