Web Calendar Access Protocol
- Web Calendar Access Protocol
Web Calendar Access Protocol (WCAP) is a protocol for remote client-server calendar access and scheduling based on the XML, HTTP, iCalendar, and vCard Internet standards. WCAP was created for use with the product that eventually became Sun Java Calendar Server, but is also used by the open source Buni Meldware project [http://blog.buni.org/blog/asogor/2007/01/07/I-bust-a-CAP-in-your-APP] . WCAP uses simple HTTP GET commands for accessing iCalendar, Freebusy, TODO and vCard entries. WCAP responses are either the traditional text form or an "xml-ized" form of iCalendar/etc [ [http://docs.sun.com/source/817-5698/pmWCAPov.html Chapter 5 Web Calendar Access Protocol Overview ] ] . Several plugins exist including those for Mozilla Thunderbird [ [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/lightning/ Lightning - Project Home ] ] , Novell Evolution [ [http://www.go-evolution.org/Evolution_JESCS Evolution JESCS - Evolution ] ] and Microsoft Outlook [ [http://www.sun.com/software/products/calendar_srvr/connector/index.xml Sun Java System Connector for Microsoft Outlook ] ] . There is a competing protocol called CalDAV undergoing standardization.
