Just a quick note. I just spent a few days looking at web calendars for a client. In particular, they wanted to show a 12 months view, rather than the more typical month at a time view. It’s in a java environment.
Stay away from jwebcalendar. Hasn’t been developed for a few years, and even though the feature set looks great and the screen shots look gorgeous, I wasn’t able able to get it to run (in tomcat 4 or tomcat 5). After putting in some log statements, and learning that you needed to specify the xsl and xml locations on the url line (like so: localhost:8080/jwebcalendar/calendar?LAYOUT=form.url&XSL=webcalendar.form.url.xsl&XSLbase=./data/webcalendar/xsl/&XML=webcalender.form.url.vm.xml&XMLbase=./data/webcalendar/xml/&XMLfilter=.xml&HTMLbase=&TITLE=PPres) I ended up seeing this error message:
Error org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Element type “input” must be foll owed by either attribute specifications, “>” or “/>”. org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException: error: Element type “input” must be followed b y either attribute specifications, “>” or “/>”. at org.apache.xmlbeans.impl.store.Root$SaxLoader.load…
Since I’d burned enough time, I didn’t follow the path any further. Major bummer, as it seemed like it would be a good fit.
After that, we looked at other calendar systems, and FlatCalendarXP seemed to fit the bill. It’s payware (for commercial software) but it has an elegant API and has worked well so far. Recommended.
