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) [...]
