Bedework and Standards

Bedeworks preoccupation with standards and interoperability is in large part recognition that in many organizations, Bedework is unlikely to be the only calendaring product in an enterprise. The ability to share and exchange data with other calendaring products and environments is an important key to Bedeworks future. We implement standards, we author standards, we promote standards!

Architecture

Bedework & Web Services

What are Web Services?

Provides integration between services/applications

System & application independent Service oriented facilitating distributed systems

Make use of standard http features Encryption, Authentication (basic) are accommodated

Two main flavors

RESTful: web development

GET/POST on target with request parameters RelaxNG if anything (usually) for widgets and other services

SOAP
More robust than REST Appropriate for SOA Based on UML or XML Schema Tools in most popular frameworks (e.g. JAXB) Operations and target defined by WSDL documents

Bedework & Web Services

Motivation
Many requests/inquiries from BW community, but until there was a standard BW interest dovetails with CalConnect/OASIS calendaring WS project for SmartGrid

Bedework & Web Services

Implementation
Implemented by CalDAV service Under sub-context defined in configuration
http://dev/bedework.org/ucaldav/calws/....

Protocols/formats
RESTful so POST/GET/PUT with request parameters XML responses Calendar data all XML

Status
Full (sans mulitget) but unexercised implementation
