Full Ethereal Session Expanded | Full Ethereal Session Collapsed

The following are done via POST /scooby/JSON-RPC HTTP/1.1 (text/plan)

1. Login to Scooby: Images

A Post is done to /scooby/j_acegi_security_check (HTTP/1.1 (application.x-www-form-urlencoded))

Its contents are: j_username=tester&j_password=testser

• {"id": 1, "method": "system.listMethods", "params": []}
• {"id": 2, "method": "scoobyService.getCalendars", "params": []}

2. Move default welcome event: Images

3. Create New Event: Images

• {"id": 5, "method": "scoobyService.saveEvent", "params": ["Scooby", {"id": null, "title": "New Event", "description": null, "start": {"year": 2006, "month": 4, "date": 30, "hours": "15", "minutes": "00", "seconds": 0, "timezone": null, "utc": false}, "end": {"year": 2006, "month": 4, "date": 30, "hours": 16, "minutes": 0, "seconds": 0, "timezone": null, "utc": false}, "allDay": false, "pointIn Time": false, "anyTime": false, "recurrenceRule": null, "status": null, "instance": false, "javaClass": "org.osaf.scooby.model.Event"}]}

4. Update Event Properties: Images

• {"id": 7 "method": "scoobyService.saveEvent", "params": ["Scooby", {"id": "d79763b3-7668-4dab-94e8-a0a93c72afle", "title": "Test Event", description", "start": {"year": 2006, "month": 4, "date": 30, "hours": 0, "minutes": 0, "timezone": null, "utc": false}, "allDay": true, "pointInTime": false, "anyTime" false, recurrenceRule": null, "status": "CONFIRMED", "masterEvent": false, "instance": false, "javaClass": "org.osaf.scooby.model.Event"}]}

• {"id": 5, "method": "scoobyService.getEvents", "params": ["Scooby", 1149318000000, 1150095599000]}

6. Remove an Event: Images

• {"id": 7, "method": "scoobyService.removeEvent", "params": ["Scooby", "171d9c85-bde8-49b8-a4b0-9390279ae6a1"]}

7. Succesful Response from Server: HTTP/1.1 200 OK (text/plain)

• {"result": [], "id": 5}

8. Variables Options:

• status: TENTATIVE, CONFIRMED, CANCELLED, defaults to null
• recurrenceRule: this is not yet implemented, defaults to null

9. Procedure for constructing a test for scooby using the httptest object: Python Code Example^?

• Create a cosmo user
• Check status to verify that the account works
• Use JSON-RPC http calls to simulate login
• Use JSON-RPC calls to design your test as a member function.
• Set the httptest paramaters
• Call the member function from init to have your test run

10. Observing communication between browser and scooby/cosmo:

• Requirements
  • Ethereal
  • Web Browser
  • Setup Accessable Cosmo Server
    

• Filtering: Images
  • In the interface options filter by the host ip you are trying to view
  • Then filter all of those for http
