[SOLVED] Client to access Soap API for Calendar

[Shikha Sood]

I am new to SOAP and Zimbra. I am trying to create an Client to acess the Zimbra calendar.I have installed the ZCS successfully on Ubuntu 7.1.The Have the follwoing queries
1. I am trying to access the soap thru http://hostname/service/soap, When I open the page in IE it gives me the message

HTTP ERROR: 405
HTTP method GET is not supported by this URL
RequestURI=/service/soap

Powered by Jetty://

I am using the correct URL? Do I have to add the port after the hostname? If yes.What port number should I use?

2. I am unable to connect to soap through Tester.java available in SourceForge.net Repository - [zimbra] Index of /trunk/ZimbraServer/src/java/com. It gives me the error :

[] WARN: local config file `\opt\zimbra\conf\localconfig.xml' is not readable

Can somebody help?

SOAP requires POST, not GET.

Your life might be much simpler if you used ZMailbox.java from com.zimbra.cs.zclient.

Thanks!
Actually I want to integrate only zimbra calendar with my java application. I want to use mailbox, only for creating an account and further use it only for scheduling appointments, for an account.
Is there a prticular class for the same?

[dkarp]

All your operations are done via ZMailbox commands. The data comes back as ZFolders, ZAppointments, etc.

To create and modify accounts, use com.zimbra.cs.account.soap.SoapProvisioning.java.

Thanks dkarp, that a very valuable input.

In the url of the server, I make an URL like http://hostanmeort/service/soap.
