Integrating a CalDAV Calendar Server into OAE

Description

https://www.concentra-cms.com/program/Sakai/2011-sakai-conference/645.html

In this session I'll share my experience integrating Bedework, a CalDAV calendar server, into the Berkeley version of the Sakai OAE. Users can see their calendars inside OAE or in the CalDAV client of their choice (e.g. Apple iCal). The presentation will go into heavy technical detail on the iCalendar data specification, CalDAV, WebDAV, and related protocols. I'll also focus on how to use JUnit to write integration tests that help you learn and exercise complex functionality in external systems, one tiny feature at a time. Audience members should have some background in Java programming and XML.
