Hello every one, I have an need where I need to create and share calendar in a server(ical server). >From the calendar caldav documentation rfc4791, I understood that I have to use MKCALENDAR method. If some one has implemented this in java, could you please share if any open source libraries in java are available to achieve the above. i have used ical4j to create ics files, but ical4j does not seem to be helpful here. Could any one share some info on the above issue. Thanks and Regards, Pradeep Alabe

Problems with external invites
by Frank Keller 07 Oct '13

Dear list, we are running an OSX lion server and using caldav on it. Server: System Version: 10.7.4 (Build 11E53) Kernel: Darwin 11.4.0 Services: Mail, Open Directory, iCal Clients are running OSX 10.7.x and 10.8.x We had problems in the past with errors when refreshing calendars. It happened often that an error message 500 was shown when refreshing, especially if the user had more calendar delegations configured. After a long journey with the the apple support a workaround was mentioned to change the port from 'auto' to '8443' in the server settings for iCal on the client machines. We also changed the refresh rate for calendars from push to a fixed value. It seems that these changes solved the problems with the 500 error. Now we are facing a new error when receiving calendar invites as a attached ics file, mainly from outside our organization. When opening the attached ics file, an error 403 is shown and it is not possible to accept the invite. Contacting Apple support again was not successful because they are saying it is a different error and we need to purchase a new support case to get help from them. So the question is, can anybody give us a hint on how to solve these issue? Maybe someone already has a fix or a workaround for this error? If you need any further information, please let me know. Any help would be appreciated. Best Regards Frank

problem with iPhone 5/iOS 6.1.3
by Julian Y Koh 05 Oct '13

Greetings all, I'm running a truly ancient version of Darwin CalendarServer (I honestly don't even know what version, but it's from ~January 2008) on an equally ancient iMac G5 running Mac OS X 10.5.8. This setup has been working perfectly for all of my clients since then, with the current crop being iCal on Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 machines as well as my iPhone 4S which was running iOS 6 and is now running iOS 7. The only client that is not cooperating is an iPhone 5 running iOS 6.1.3. When it adds the CalDAV account and tries to load the calendars, I get a whole bunch of log messages in access.log and error.log that look like this: ============= 66.245.68.154 - ical [02/Oct/2013:21:29:59 -0500] "PROPFIND /calendars/users/ical/5A131DBC-7199-4BF7-906F-010C1DE00ADC/ HTTP/1.1" 207 518 "-" "iOS/6.1.3 (10B329) dataaccessd/1.0" [83.1 ms] 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] [HTTPChannel,17,66.245.68.154] REPORT /calendars/users/ical/5A131DBC-7199-4BF7-906F-010C1DE00ADC/ HTTP/1.1 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Exception rendering: 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] [-] Unhandled Error 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] Traceback (most recent call last): 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 239, in callback 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self._startRunCallbacks(result) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 304, in _startRunCallbacks 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self._runCallbacks() 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 317, in _runCallbacks 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self.result = callback(self.result, *args, **kw) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 601, in gotResult 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] _deferGenerator(g, deferred) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] --- <exception caught here> --- 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 576, in _deferGenerator 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] result = g.next() 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/method/report.py", line 62, in http_REPORT 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] doc = doc.getResult() 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 555, in getResult 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self.result.raiseException() 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 317, in _runCallbacks 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self.result = callback(self.result, *args, **kw) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/web2/dav/util.py", line 66, in gotAllData 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] return filter(result) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/web2/dav/util.py", line 79, in parse 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] doc = davxml.WebDAVDocument.fromString(xml) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/web2/dav/element/parser.py", line 223, in parse 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] parser.parse(source) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/expatreader.py", line 107, in parse 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] xmlreader.IncrementalParser.parse(self, source) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/xmlreader.py", line 123, in parse 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self.feed(buffer) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/expatreader.py", line 207, in feed 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self._parser.Parse(data, isFinal) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/xml/sax/expatreader.py", line 349, in end_element_ns 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self._cont_handler.endElementNS(pair, None) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/Twisted/twisted/web2/dav/element/parser.py", line 178, in endElementNS 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] element = top["class"](*top["children"], **top["attributes"]) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/caldavxml.py", line 1187, in __init__ 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] super(TimeRange, self).__init__(*children, **attributes) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] File "/Library/CalendarServer/twistedcaldav/caldavxml.py", line 85, in __init__ 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] self.end = parse_date_or_datetime(attributes["end" ]) 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] exceptions.KeyError: 'end' 2013-10-02 21:29:59-0500 [-] [caldav-8008] =============== I have no idea what is different about this client compared to all of the others.
