Sending a calendar invite through jBPM5

created by Qihan Zhang in jBPM - View the full discussion

Hi,

 

I was taking a look at SendIcal.java class and was wondering how to ultimately use it to send a calendar invite through Microsoft Exchange using smtp.

 

I was confused as to why the SendIcal class was placed within the jbpm-human-task-core.. let's say you simply wanted to fire off a calendar invite through a workflow using a custom CalendarWorkItemhandler, how would you go about implementing this? Is this even necessary?

 

Do you have to create a custom workitem definition, ex. CalendarTask, or can you use the existing Email service task to do this, since theoretically a calendar invite is just an attachment on the email and Microsoft exchange simply parses the attachment as a calendar event?

 

If you simply wanted to send a calendar event without caring about handling the responses using jBPM5, how would you go about doing this?

 

Thanks,
