Exchange Web Services Example – Part 4 – Subscriptions and Notifications
Now that we have succeeded in creating, updating and deleting calendar items and mastered Exchange Impersonation, it’s time to turn our attention to having Exchange notify us about what it is doing. Part 4 of this series is going to provide a detailed code walk-through of some code that leverages the Subscription API.
The example includes two code examples – one for Java programmers and one for OpenEdge programmers. The OpenEdge version writes updates through the OpenClient via the OpenEdge AppServer to an OpenEdge database.
Exchange Web Services Example – Part 3 – Exchange Impersonation
In part 3 of this series on integrating Exchange Web Services with Java and OpenEdge, we’re going to talk about a technique for accessing mailboxes called Exchange Impersonation. The first part of this article is going to talk about what it is, how it works, and the very serious risks it can potentially introduce to your enterprise. We’ll talk a little about how you can mitigate those risks, how to set it up from an administrative point of view, and then we’ll actually use it.
As with the other articles in this series, there is also a set of sample code that you can download and install to follow along later in the article.
Exchange Web Services Example – Part 2 – Creating Appointments
In part 2 of this series, we are going to spend some time looking at the CalendarItem API, how it works and what it takes to create, get and delete an appointment. Before we start, you should make sure you have your environment set up per the explanation in part 1. If you have done that, you can download the example code for both the Java portion and the OpenEdge portion so you can follow along as we walk through this code together.
Part 2 of this series of articles is dedicated to giving you an overview of the process of connecting to Exchange and doing some basic Calendar item work. Through the sample code, you will learn how to:
– Connect to the Exchange Web Service from Java;
– Create calendar items on the Exchange Server;
– Get calendar items from the Exchange Server;
– Delete calendar items from the Exchange Server; and
– Connect to the Java service from OpenEdge to perform the same operations.
The Java functionality will be exposed as a Web Service so that other platforms can also leverage, which is how we will get at it from OpenEdge. The OpenEdge code leverages the new GUI for .NET and object-oriented extensions, so you may find the example interesting if you have not done this before. [...]
Exchange Web Services Example – Part 1 – Introduction and Set up
A few weeks ago I wrote about my experiences starting out with the Microsoft Exchange Web Services API and on using the subscription API. In the second article, I said I would write a code walk through that shows how to do the stuff. I had thought of doing a complete walk through like the Dynamic OpenClient code that I did back in November last year, but I wasn’t as busy back then as I am now, and I had the time to actually write up the example properly.
This is part 1 of a multi-part series that will cover the process of connecting to Microsoft Exchange Web Services, submitting requests to Exchange, receiving notifications from Exchange, creating appointments, tasks, and e-mail, and using Exchange Impersonation. There will also be OpenEdge examples interspersed within it. Each part in the series (except this one) will have a downloadable zip file with the code in it that actually runs (at least in my environment) [...]
