public class ERPublishCalendarPage
extends WOComponent

ERPublishCalendarPage is a WebObjects component for dynamically generated iCalendar documents.

The response created by ERPublishCalendarPage is an iCalendar document (.ics) containing the events added to ERPublishCalendarPage by the application (see addEvent). An iCalendar-aware application, such as Apple's iCal, can subscribe to such a calendar, provided that the page has a fixed URL (either is the "Main" page, or a direct action serves the page).

Events added to a ERPublishCalendarPage is objects of any class that implements the ERCalendarEvent interface. Existing classes (for example EOCustomObject subclasses), that correspond to calendar events, can easily be modified to implement ERCalendarEvent and thus be added directly to ERPublishCalendarPage. If existing classes does not directly correspond to calendar events, create events from business data (or some algorithm) using either the included ERSimpleEvent class, a subclass of ERSimpleEvent, or any other class implementing the ERCalendarEvent interface.
