Oh Hallelujah, I finally found the answer.
The secret to posting in Java to calendars other than the main one
is changing the URL, and knowing just HOW to change the URL.
Instead of:
URL postUrl =
new URL("http://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/private/
full");
you go into the "Calendar Settings" for the alternate calendar, and
get the
URL that is given by the XML button next to "Private Address".
But that isn't enough.. you have to know this secret:
Change the last part of it from
/private-@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@/basic
to:
/private/full
where @@@@@@@@@ is some long hexadecimal number.
Thanks to "mrchucho" from a thread titled "Access Additional
Calendars" where I finally found this trick.
Regards,
Phill
