IM/event notification for calendars

Brief Description

Columbia InterNet Extensible Multimedia Architecture (CINEMA) provides a test bed for different multimedia and Internet telephony applications.
This project is to provide CINEMA web-interface which includes calendar interface for "Event Reservation Database" so that we could mamipulate the database via web.

EventEdit.cgi: This file is a CGI script which is used to either enter a new event or edit previous events

EventCalendar.cgi: This file is a CGI script which is used to show calendar-style event reservation status

Examples of web interface of these two scripts can be seen here: <EventEdit.cgi> <EventCalendar.cgi>

system requirements

Operating System: Any OS which CINEMA runs

Hardware: Any HW which CINEMA runs

JDK over 1.2 is requred in order to run EventExpand.class since Cal-Code which is used in EventExpand.class uses Calendar.getMaximum(int field). (JDK 1.1 does NOT have it)

Installation

Place all files under CINEMA web directory as follow

Configuration

You MUST change "class path" to Cal-Code.jar & xerces.jar in file "EventEdit.cgi" Line 33, 34.

web-interface examples

A page for addingnew entry event <EventEdit.cgi>

program internal operation

PDF format of internal architecture is available here

restrictions

If you are using JDK1.1, monthly recurrence events do NOT work.
(Since Cal-Code requires over JDK 1.2)

useful enhancements

Access limitation to resources or room should be implemented

acknowledgements for code and ideas borrowed

Expansino of recurrence events fully depends on Cal-Code which was written by Jonathan Lennox <lennox@cs.columbia.edu>
API for Cal-Code is available here
