Sure Alain,
Thanks for responding. My calendar creation code is pretty standard, I assume,
since I use the client apis (although wrapped in a few classes of mine which
are not shown here). Here is the code that actually gets to run on calendar
creation (after resolving the intermediate level) :
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CalendarEntry entry = new CalendarEntry();
entry.setTitle(new PlainTextConstruct("Some name"));
entry.setSummary(new PlainTextConstruct("Some description"));
CalendarEntry newEntry = null;
CalendarService calendarService = new CalendarService("My own service");
try {
calendarService.insert(updateURLFeed(new
URL("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/default/owncalendars/full";)), entry);
} catch (ServiceException e) {
...
} catch (Exception e) {
...
}
Where 'updateURLFeed' is a method that adds the 'xoauth_requestor_id' http
parameter to the feed url.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, a couple of things come to mind from your response:
1- I don't think I could optimize this (simple) code. Or, do you have any
suggestions on how to do this?
2- Your statement about the likelihood of api failures increasing with the
number of calendar a user owns tells me that the Google api implementation is
really not scalable, and it probably needs improvement. Are there any plans in
place for Google to work on this?
Thanks again for your response,
-Patricia

Subject: Re: [Calendar API] programmatic calendar creation is failing often
Hello Patricia,
500 errors usually mean a temporary issue with the API. It can be avoided by
optimizing the code and making sure no weird requests are sent to the API.
Would you mind sharing the part of your code that creates the calendar (by
removing any private data)?
Also, the more calendar a user has, the more likely the API will fail as
processing too many calendar in the allocated time (for a web request) might
not be possible.
Thanks!
Alain

My web application creates Google Apps calendars among other types of

10-25% of calendar creation requests. The application uses the Java gdata

Is this a known bug in Google Apps Calendars, or a temporary issue? Please
note that I have successfully submitted later requests to create the same
type of calendar (with the same names) and they have succeeded.
Thanks in advance,
