Re: How to is the correct syntax for xmlrpc on a bash shell

Hi,

as you told me, that i cannot use xmlrpc from shell, i'm right now 
trying to use it from java. I found the project ogo-jogi, which i 
supposed to write appointments via xmlrpc. I need to know, which methods 
i have to call, to write a singe appointment. My approach is for now:

public class Xmlconnect {
    {
    String url="http://localhost:22000/RPC2";
    String user="root";
    String password="hidden";
    try {
        XmlRpcCaller caller = new ApacheXmlRpcCaller(url, user, password);
        XmlRpcConnection conn = new XmlRpcConnection(caller);
        OpenGroupWare ogo = conn.getOpenGroupWareInstance();
    } catch (Exception e){
        System.err.println("Connecting to OpenGroupwareServer not 
possible: " + e.getMessage());
    }
    Appointment app = new Appointment();
       
}

As you can see, i have no idea how to use the AppointmentManager. Maybe 
someone can give me some insights

Thanks,
Henning
