Mobile Sync with Sun Calendar Server - Part III


Few days back, I came across an Open-Source Java program (GCALDaemon) that offers two-way synchronization between Google Calendar and various iCalendar compatible calendar applications.

Suddenly, an idea struck my mind!

There is now a cheaper way to implement mobile sync to Sun Calendar Server 6.





GCALDaemon is an OS-independent Java program that offers two-way synchronization between Google Calendar and various iCalendar compatible calendar applications. GCALDaemon is primarily designed as a calendar synchronizer but it can also be used as a Gmail notifier, Address Book importer, Gmail terminal and RSS feed converter.




What we need is to use the file-based synchronizer feature in GCALDaemon.

Bingo!

Slightly troublesome. However, it saves cost and is elegant enough. Personally, I'm using this architecture to sync my BlackBerry calendar with my Sun Calendar Server in the backend.
