How do I integrate with a Lotus Notes Domino server? I know there are several versions and the answer would be different for each one, but advice on any version would be great at the moment as I haven't gotten the info on what server it is I'm supposed to integrate with yet. Assume version 6+.
I'm assuming I need to do the integration with the server and not the local Lotus Notes client, but that might not be correct?
I need to both read and write to the calendar appointments of a select number of users. For instance I should be able to create/update/delete a appointment for a certain user. The appointments are the only thing I need access to, at the moment I have no need for the mails.
From what I have read on the internet there are no standard interface to do this?
Should I develop a Domino app that does what I want?
Maybe there is a server API that I can use to connect and retrive information?
Hopefully this can be done in c#? If not what is the preferred way? I read something about java and that is doable also.
If you don't have any concrete answers but you have useful links, please post those as comments.
The best way to do this without the pain of having to write code is to use ICal. You will enter all sorts of issues with access, reading appointments etc that are best left to Domino to handle.
There are some good documents on the web on ICal support in Domino.
