 */
EviteZimlet.prototype._createAppt =
function(title, url, date, time) {
	if (!this.userID || !this.eviteFolderID) {
		appCtxt.getAppController().setStatusMsg(this.getMessage("EviteZimlet_NotInitialized"), ZmStatusView.LEVEL_CRITICAL);
		return;
	}
	var soapDoc = AjxSoapDoc.create("CreateAppointmentRequest", "urn:zimbraMail");
	var m = soapDoc.set("m");
	m.setAttribute("l", this.eviteFolderID);
	var node = soapDoc.set("inv", null, m);
	node.setAttribute("method", "REQUEST");
	node.setAttribute("type", "event");
	node.setAttribute("fb", "B");
	node.setAttribute("transp", "O");
	node.setAttribute("status", "CONF");
	node.setAttribute("allDay", "1");
	node.setAttribute("name", title);
	node.setAttribute("loc", "");

	var subnode = soapDoc.set("s", null, node);
	subnode.setAttribute("d", date);
	subnode = soapDoc.set("e", null, node);
	subnode.setAttribute("d", date);
	subnode = soapDoc.set("or", null, node);
	subnode.setAttribute("a", this._getUsername());

	node = soapDoc.set("mp", null, m);
	node.setAttribute("ct", "text/plain");
	subnode = soapDoc.set("content", url, node);

	node = soapDoc.set("su", title, m);

	var command = new ZmCsfeCommand();
	var resp = command.invoke({soapDoc: soapDoc});
};

Hi,

You can set attendees by adding an at(tendee) element to your /m/inv/comp element (so it should be /m/inv/comp/at). See documentation of the SOAP API here for what attributes and content to set inside this element : Zimbra SOAP API Reference 8.0.0_GA_5424

Also, if you want to change the folder, you have to change the "l" attribute of your message (m).

Hope that helps. The API documentation may seem a little hieroglyphic/cryptic, but if you look at it 3 or more times you get accustomed to its layout. Not all elements and attributes are necessary of course.

What I did is take a look at the SOAP message create by Zimbra itself when I manually added an appointement, the XML looked like this :

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
	<soap:Header>
		<context xmlns="urn:zimbra">
			<userAgent xmlns="" name="ZimbraWebClient - FF3.0 (Win)" version="7.2.1 GA"/>
			<session xmlns="" id="16"/>
			<account xmlns="" by="name">ychaouche@feeder.fr</account>
			<format xmlns="" type="js"/>
		</context>
	</soap:Header>
	<soap:Body>
		<CreateAppointmentRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraMail">
			<m xmlns="" l="57f6a117-cf46-41d8-8956-a38d06c8cd1e:10">
				<inv>
					<comp status="CONF" fb="B" class="PUB" transp="O" draft="0" allDay="0" name="test" loc="">
						<s tz="Europe/Berlin" d="20121016T083000"/>
						<e tz="Europe/Berlin" d="20121016T090000"/>
						<or a="ychaouche@feeder.fr" d="Yassine Chaouche"/>
						<alarm action="DISPLAY">
							<trigger>
								<rel m="5" related="START" neg="1"/>
							</trigger>
						</alarm>
					</comp>
				</inv>
				<e a="ychaouche@feeder.fr" t="f"/>
				<su>test</su>
				<mp ct="multipart/alternative">
					<mp ct="text/plain">
						<content></content>
					</mp>
					<mp ct="text/html">
						<content>&lt;html&gt;&lt;body&gt;&lt;/body&gt;&lt;/html&gt;</content>
					</mp>
				</mp>
			</m>
		</CreateAppointmentRequest>
	</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

I took the elements that mattered to me and put them inside my javascript code (also, you can construct your SOAP request out of pure javascript, no XML, see below) :

AppointmentZimlet.prototype.az_create_appointment = function(){
// <CreateAppointmentRequest xmlns="urn:zimbraMail">
// 	<m xmlns="" l="57f6a117-cf46-41d8-8956-a38d06c8cd1e:10">
// 		<inv>...</inv>
// 		<e a="ychaouche@feeder.fr" t="f"/>
// 		<su>test</su>
// 		<mp ct="multipart/alternative">...</mp>		
// 	</m>
// </CreateAppointmentRequest>

    var component  = {
	status : "CONF",
	fb     : "B",
	class  : "PUB",
	allDay : 0,
	name   : "Test",
	loc    : "Somewhere, beyond the sea",
	s      : {d:"20121016T083000"},
	e      : {d:"20121016T090000"},
	or     : {a:"ychaouche@feeder.fr", d:"yassine chaouche mon pote"}
    };
    var invitation = {comp : component};
    var message    = {inv:invitation,e:"ychaouche@feeder.fr",su:"LE SUJET DU JOUR EST : LA CREVETTE AUX CHAMPIGNONS NOIRS"};
    jsonObj = {
	CreateAppointmentRequest : {
	    _jsns:"urn:zimbraMail",
	    m:message
	}
    };

    return appCtxt.getAppController().sendRequest({jsonObj:jsonObj, asyncMode:true, callback:new AjxCallback(this,this.az_create_appointment_cb)});

};

To my big surprise, this code worked the very first time. It happens very, very rarely to me.
