Updating Contact in Java

[3rtDeveloper]

LmcCreateContactRequest contactRequest = new LmcCreateContactRequest();
contactRequest.setSession(session);
LmcContact contact = new LmcContact();
LmcContactAttr attrs[] = new LmcContactAttr[16];
contact.setAttrs(attrs);
contactRequest.setContact(contact);
contactRequest.invoke(serverURL);

The above will create a contact which is what I want it to do. How do you update an already existing contact? I tried contact.setID(id); which I assumed would update the contact with that id. However, it just creates a duplicate contact with a different id.

You'd be much better served to use ZMailbox.modifyContact().

I am sure this is rookie overlooking something. In the constructor:

new ZMailbox(new Options(String account, AccountBy accountBy, String password, String uri)

What is the AccountBy and how do I instantiate it? Also, if you know where there is some examples of its use that would be helpful?

ZMailboxUtil.java is the source for the zmmailbox program. It exercises most of the fuctionality of the ZMailbox class.

Check out soap.txt for a description of account by="" and it should give you an idea of how it works:

(This might not be the normative url for soap.txt but it works at the moment.)

Thanks for your help. Everything is working perfectly!
