Apache Slide - Exchange 2003 - WebDav Request

[KovaiRam]

Hi,

I need to create and process appointments on the exchange 2003 server.
I am using Apache Slide as my Webdav client to access Exchange 2003
server.

When I try to change a property of an existing appointment and I get
'200 OK' response back.
But actually I don't see the appointment get changed(on the outlook).


Here is the code snippet using the Apache Slide client.

Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
props.put(new
PropertyName("DAV:","contentclass"),"urn:content-classes:appointment");
props.put(new
PropertyName("http//schemas.microsoft.com/exchange","outlookmessageclass"),"IPM.Appointment");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:httpmail","subject"),"Changed
Test Appointment Subject");
//I am commenting this to check date fields should not create problems.
/*props.put(new
PropertyName("urn:schemas:httpmail","htmldescription"),"Let's meet
here");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","dtstart")
,"2005-01-26T10:00:00.000Z");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","dtend")
,"2005-01-26T10:30:00.000Z");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","instancetype"),"0");
props.put(new
PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","busystatus"),"BUSY");
props.put(new
PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","meetingstatus"),"CONFIRMED");
*/
props.put(new PropertyName("header","to"),"user");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:httpmail","finvited"),"1");
System.out.println("returned value ...
"+wr.proppatchMethod(props,true));


Do I need to change anything on the Exchange 2003 server to make it
work ?
Is there anything wrong in the XML request ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.(If you have any code examples,
please post it)

Here are the XMLs from the debug mode.

Since PropertyName Class in the Slide does not suppot to add XML
Element attributes, I think we can not use Slide for communicating
Microsoft Exchange.
