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.<\/p>\n

Stay away from jwebcalendar<\/a>. 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: <\/p>\n

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…\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

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.<\/p>\n

After that, we looked at other calendar systems, and FlatCalendarXP<\/a> seemed to fit the bill. It’s payware (for commercial software) but it has an elegant API and has worked well so far. Recommended.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
