Jacopo,
I've been working on exactly the same thing. I have my own recurrence
rules code here that I've been trying to convert to the OFBiz
Recurrence* entities.
The recurrence rules entities and code need some work - see the patch I
posted in Jira - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-1946.
The method I used here was to get the workefforts for the party. Then -
for each workeffort - check to see if there is a recurrenceInfoId. If
there is, check to see if the current period being displayed falls
within the specified recurrence rule(s). If it does, create a "dummy"
workeffort with the appropriate information, and add it to the list of
workefforts for that period.

Hi all,
I would like to implement the display of party/facility/fixed asset
availability in the work effort calendars.
Also based on recent enhancements by Bilgin (OFBIZ-1756, committed in
the trunk by David in rev. 658108), I would like to use the Recurrence*
framework.
For example, the data setup for a standard week of work (8 hours per day
from 9-12 to 13-18, from Monday to Friday) is:
<RecurrenceRule recurrenceRuleId="SCHED_STD_40HR_WK"
frequency="DAILY" intervalNumber="1" countNumber="-1"
byHourList="09,10,11,13,14,15,16,17"
byDayList="MO,TU,WE,TH,FR"/>
<RecurrenceInfo recurrenceInfoId="SCHED_STD_40HR_WK"
startDateTime="2008-01-01 00:00:00.000"
recurrenceRuleId="SCHED_STD_40HR_WK" recurrenceCount="0"/>
<WorkEffort workEffortId="SCHED_STD_40HR_WK"
workEffortTypeId="AVAILABLE" scopeEnumId="WES_PRIVATE"
workEffortName="Work Schedule Full Time (40 hrs/wk)"
recurrenceInfoId="SCHED_STD_40HR_WK"/>
I would like to add a visual representation of this special WorkEffort
in the calendar screen: showing in a different color the time frames of
AVAILABILITY at work of the party.
So I guess that, if I am rendering a given day in the calendar for a
party, the flow will be:
1) given the party, get a WorkEffort of type AVAILABLE associated to the
party (WorkEffortPartyAssign)
2) get the RecurrenceInfo record associated to the WorkEffort
3) create a new RecurrenceInfo object using the above record
and then? what are the methods that I should use (or implement) in the
RecurrenceInfo class in order to get availability info for the current
record?
Any hint would be much appreciated because there are still details about
recurrence rules that are not completely clear to me.
Thanks,
Jacopo
