  I'm currently looking into bedework now- it seems ideal, but
  getting tomcat to work with apache is becoming a challenge. I'm
  using mod_jk but it doesn't appear to be cooperating yet.
 
  What is your experience in building apache modules? The problem
  is mainly in the mod_dav_acl module which needs xattr.h. I'm
  wondering if we can borrow the headers from another source.

 You can borrow whatever headers you need to get the code to
 compile. You may find that it would work a lot better though if you
 change the xattr.h include to:

 include sys/extattr.h

 The problem will be in the link stage.  If the libraries that you
 have linked in do not contain the functions that are defined in
 xattr.h then you will get link failures.

 However I don't really understand why your having problems.  The
 SF page for this, here:

 http://sourceforge.net/projects/moddavacl

 claims:

 Operating System: All POSIX (Linux/BSD/UNIX-like OSes)

 This would indicate a configure script that understands
 FreeBSD is present.  It sounds to me like you are not
 following the instructions included with the mod_dav_acl module
 to build it properly.  What exactly are you doing?  Could you
 post the steps your going through to build this?

 I had thought Mirosoft deprecated all the webdav stuff in
 future IIS servers - maybe there is a lack of interest in the
 industry now?

He also might want to look at Horde. You can install from 
www/horde-meta and choose the kronolith module. 

From their website:

The Kronolith calendar provides a robust web-based calendar for any 
number of users or groups, with the ability to show any number of 
calendars in a single overlaid view. Users can create any number of 
calendars and grant read, edit, or full permissions to any user, 
group, or any combination thereof.

I understand what you're saying about the usability of the code acroos
platforms, however, the code will only work on systems which support
extended attributes, it must have that header file, and the developer
has refused to build for anything beyond debian (God knows why!). It has
been pointed out in the forums there (Only 3 postings and that includes
myself... hmmm. What does that tell you?) that while the sourceforge
system says its cross platform that it doesn't work cross platforms, and
so should be corrected- and that person was building for bsd too.

So, where does that leave us?

Incidentally, since when do we care what BS Microcrap is doing with
their toy servers? (I've had plenty of crap go on with MS and their
systems, my laptop manufacturer only supports them and gives me curry
every time I ask for warranty, and MS cancelled my hotmail account to
boot. Apparently I transgressed, but I haven't, I have important emails
I can't access now, and their system has no way to contact me with a
reply as to what I've done- life is wonderful!)

The question remains is does kronolith provide caldav access for
evolution, and does it connect via apache?

I'm currently trying to get bedework working, but I'm having trouble
linking Tomcat 6 and Apache (Bedework appears to fit all these criteria
that I require). I can access Tomcat directly, and Apache is ok, I
checked the config for the mod_jk and I think its working, but when I
try to navigate to Tomcat via Apache I get a 404 from Tomcat. Does
anyone know how to fix this? It seems I have the connector working and
there is something in Tomcat to configure but I don't know what.

Thanks for the feedback guys- its all been helpful. I hope I'll have an
answer soon which I'll post back, and maybe make up a how-to, package or
port. Keep it all coming...

Cheers

 You could try Bedework http://www.bedework.org/ and see if that fits
 with what you want. However, it requires Java Web container to live
 in.

It looks almost perfect, but once again I have been stumbled. I need to setup 
tomcat to get it working, and tomcat is now installed, but the apache connector 
is the tough point again- I'm trying to install mod_webapp as per instructions 
here (http://www.osnews.com/story/3558), but the port breaks with missing 
includes.

It appears FreeBSD just doesn't want to be a calendar server! I am chasing 
either the developer or another poor soul trying to get the mod_dav_acl (which 
is required by mod_caldav) to work on anything other than linux. Once this 
hurdle is worked out then the caldav module might work very well.

As for bedework I'll keep on that track- I have to get somewhere eventually! 
One way or the other

At the end I'll post the result, and maybe I'll work on a port or something.

I'm currently looking for a caldav/calendar server myself. There are
actually quite a few, but I guess a lot won't met your specific
requirements. To name a few:

caldav:
 - bedework
 - davical
 - zimbra
 - cosmo

webdav:
 - horde
 - phpcalendar

Bedework seems to be a nice choice, I haven't found a way to integrate
tomcat into LDAP yet. But I'm not familiar with tomcat, so that's to be
expected. Davical doesn't seem to care about the access rights I
configured in the web interface, a bug I guess.

 So that brings me back to the Apache module under construction
 (mod_caldav), but nothing seems to be happening with it. I've
 requested support on the forum their at sourceforge, but I have had
 no response for over a week, and no responses have been issued since
 april 2006.

I didn't know that such a module existed, I'll look into it! :)
