Zimbra and WCAP

[shahins]

Hi,
Can you tell me whether Zimbra Calendar Server supports WCAP protocol? If so, where can I get more information about it?
Also I was wondering if ZCS supports iCal messages directly? Or is SOAP the only API to communicate with the server?
Thanks

No, there is no WCAP support. You can check bugzilla, but I don't even think that anyone's requested it before.

Yes, Zimbra does the right thing and updates the calendar appropriately when email comes in with .ics attachments. And you can always POST .ics files to your calendar via the REST interface.

Thanks for your reply. I need to post a .ics file from a Java application. Does there exist a Jar file for REST interface? Something I can import in a Java application and post a .ics file programmatically.
Thanks

Use any HTTP client jarfile you'd like. (We use the Apache commons httpclient.) All you're doing is an HTTP POST to the appropriate REST URL with the .ics file as the payload.

oh cool. You are a life saver. Do you have a sample code showing me how it is done? I am a newbie in this as you can tell.
