[SOGo] accessing and modifying SOGo calenders from c#/java
Hi, how do you access SOGo calendars from c#? We need it to add calender events to SOGo from a C# program. My approach was to use IKVM to convert the necessary libraries to dlls for C#. but: Using ical4j with ical4j-connector just shows an CalDavStore with an empty CalDavCollection. Using ical4j with the /SOGo/dav/user/Calendar/personal.ics file works for downloading the file, but not for changing/adding events. What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Robin -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists

CalDAV is a kind of WebDAV, and WebDAV uses http-commands like GET, POST, PUT, DELETE. With PUT, I think, you can create a new entry on the CalDAV-Server (aka SOGo).

Hi,
thanks for your answer.
Via CalDAV: /SOGo/dav/user/Calendar/personal
Thats what I tried first, using ical4j-connector. But it just showed an
empty caldavcollection.
Not so good. (I tried it last year ;-) )
When you only want to push new events into calendars, its easier to
wrote a CalDAV-Message direct into SOGo.
So how did you solve it? ;)
Thats the main use, but seeing overlapping events would be nice.
CalDAV is a kind of WebDAV, and WebDAV uses http-commands like GET,
POST, PUT, DELETE.
With PUT, I think, you can create a new entry on the CalDAV-Server
(aka SOGo).
Yup, I tried it (with ical4j-connector) but it didn't allow to create a
collection or an object.
Pls have a look at
http://caldav.calconnect.org/
This document http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4791.txt provides some good
examples, which messages have to sent to the CalDAV-Server.
But if you want to convert Java-Stuff, look here:
http://code.google.com/p/caldav4j/
already tried that, but didn't find out how to use it.
The OpenConnector-Project has written caldav-client-code in c#,
some code you will find here:
http://otlkcon.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/otlkcon/trunk/otlkcon0/OpenConnector/
But, its very buggy, I think.
I'll look at it
Using ical4j with the /SOGo/dav/user/Calendar/personal.ics file works
for
downloading the file, but not for changing/adding events.
What am I doing wrong?
False URL.
It's the URL shown in SOGo as "WebDAV ICS URL", which was the URL I
tried after direct CalDAV didn't work.
the WebDAV works for downloading, but not for uploading data. For
example if you connect from Windows Explorer ("add network resource") to
http://sogo-demo.inverse.ca/SOGo/dav/sogo1/ with user:sogo pass:sogo,
you can view the calendars but can't upload/change/delete files.

So how did you solve it? ;) Pffft! It was a long long time ago ... ;-) Try curl for the network stuff, and read how to wrote an event entry for caldav in the RFC - just copy/paste and change the params. OR: go to the davical-website, the have a php-client for caldav, usable as a class. already tried that, but didn't find out how to use it. Hmpf. Rtfm? It's the URL shown in SOGo as "WebDAV ICS URL", which was the URL I tried after direct CalDAV didn't work. the WebDAV works for downloading, but not for uploading data. For Sorry - you didn't understand CalDAV. CalDAV is a special way for working with calendar data, based on WebDAV. For putting an event to the server, you have to use a special WebDAV(-base) command, which is very good documented in the RFC. Just read, copy/past, change the params. I wrote a little c# caldav-lib some time ago, but its not for production use, nor for alpha-use. But it used the examples in the RFC and runs quite good with it.

Hi, It works now. Than theres an error in ical4j. That's possible. Pffft! It was a long long time ago ... ;-) Try curl for the network stuff, and read how to wrote an event entry for caldav in the RFC - just copy/paste and change the params. Thanks, I already solved it. Using ical4j for parsing and creating ics files, apache.commons for sending web requests, jackrabbit.webdav for Put and PropFindMethods from webdav. I wrote a little c#-"library" which can get, put and list all VEvents from a SOGo server. So nothing with any special caldav-requests. already tried that, but didn't find out how to use it. Hmpf. Rtfm? couldn't find any manual, sorry ;) Sorry - you didn't understand CalDAV. CalDAV is a special way for working with calendar data, based on WebDAV.

Yes, thanks for that link, even though I didn't read it fully, it helped me understand it. I wrote a little c# caldav-lib some time ago, but its not for production use, nor for alpha-use. But it used the examples in the RFC and runs quite good with it. Me too, but in a different way Greetings, Robin -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
