Create Event in Community - ActivityService.createActivity ?

[SiriSch]

Hey Paul,

I am trying to create an event in a community.

com.ibm.sbt.services.client.ClientServicesException: Request to url URLCENSORED/activities/service/atom2/activities returned an error response 400:Bad Request HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request

 public static void test() throws ClientServicesException, ParseException {

    Activity anActivity = new Activity();
    anActivity.setTitle( "TEST" );
    anActivity.setCompleted( false );
    anActivity.setContent( "Interesting" );

    Date startDate = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S" ).parse( "2015-11-16 17:00:00.0" );
    Date endDate = new SimpleDateFormat( "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.S" ).parse( "2015-12-31 23:00:00.0" );

    anActivity.setDuedate( endDate );
    anActivity.setCommunityUuid( "72d67a94..." );
    Variables.anActivityService.createActivity( anActivity );
  }

but this of course does not work, because I can't find any property to set the start date.

Could you give me an example how to create an event in a community?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Sirius S.

These are not equivalent APIs - IBM Connections Activities is not equivalent to IBM Connections Events. There is no coverage for Events. Please implement your own service based on the API - http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=API+Reference#action=openDocument&res_title=Community_Events_API_ic50&content=apicontent

Hey and thanks,

I still have some problems with creating a community event.

I have got the following function now:

// Variables.baseURL is my URL
//calendarUuid is the calendarUuid I currently give as parameter (I have checked this before by using Google Chrome)
//Variables.anActivityService is an activity service (working properly), instantiatied like this:

    Variables.anActivityService = new ActivityService();
    Variables.anActivityService.setEndpoint( Variables.basicEndpoint );

public static boolean CreateCommunityEvent(String calendarUuid, String eventTitle, String eventContent)
throws ClientServicesException, ParseException {

String serviceURL = Variables.baseURL + "/communities/calendar/atom/calendar/service?calendarUuid=" + calendarUuid;
HttpResponse res = Variables.anActivityService.retrieveData( serviceURL, null ).getResponse();
HttpEntity entity = res.getEntity();
String contentt = "";

try {
  contentt = EntityUtils.toString( entity );
}
catch (org.apache.http.ParseException | IOException e) {
  // TODO Auto-generated catch block
  e.printStackTrace();
}
System.out.println( contentt );

serviceURL = Variables.baseURL + "/communities/calendar/atom/calendar/event?calendarUuid=" + calendarUuid;

String content =
  "<entry xmlns:snx=\"http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn\" (http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn%22)  xmlns:atom=\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\" (http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom%22)  xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom\"> (http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom%22%3E)"
    + "<title type=\"text\">$TITLE</title>" + "<content type=\"html\"><p dir=\"ltr\">$CONTENT</p> </content>"
    + "<snx:imageUrl></snx:imageUrl>" + "<snx:location></snx:location>" + "<snx:allday>0</snx:allday>"
    + "<category scheme=\"http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/type\" (http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn/type%22)  term=\"event\"></category>"
    + "<snx:recurrence custom=\"yes\">" + "<snx:period>" + "<snx:startDate>2015-11-14T14:00:00-05:00</snx:startDate>"
    + "<snx:endDate>2015-12-14T15:00:00-05:00</snx:endDate>" + "</snx:period>"
    // + "<snx:daylight>2015-12-14T11:18:47-04:00/2015-12-14T10:18:47-05:00</snx:daylight>"
    + "</snx:recurrence>" + "</entry>";

content = content.replace( "$TITLE", eventTitle );
content = content.replace( "$CONTENT", eventContent );

return Variables.anActivityService.createData( serviceURL, null, content ).getResponse().getStatusLine()
  .getStatusCode() == 201;

}

Firstly, I get this error:

```java
java.io.IOException: Attempted read from closed stream.
    at org.apache.http.impl.io.ChunkedInputStream.read(ChunkedInputStream.java:162)
    at org.apache.http.conn.EofSensorInputStream.read(EofSensorInputStream.java:137)
    at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.readBytes(StreamDecoder.java:284)

On the other hand I get this error:

What is wrong there?

you have a ton of junk in your xml. example - xmlns:snx="http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn\" (http://www.ibm.com/xmlns/prod/sn%22)

[SiriSch]

@prb112 I got this from your URL

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/appdevwiki.nsf/xpAPIViewer.xsp?lookupName=API+Reference#action=openDocument&res_title=Community_Events_API_ic50&content=apicontent

Could you give me an example?
