Find task request

The following example shows you how to find task request messages, accept task and create task in the Tasks folder. Unfortunately with Exchange Web Services is not possible to send task request or task accept/decline response.

import com.independentsoft.exchange.Item;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.ItemAttachment;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.ItemClass;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.ItemId;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.Task;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.TaskPropertyPath;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.FindItemResponse;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.IsEqualTo;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.Service;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.ServiceException;
import com.independentsoft.exchange.StandardFolder;

public class Example {

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            Service service = new Service("https://myserver/ews/Exchange.asmx", "username", "password");

            IsEqualTo restriction = new IsEqualTo(TaskPropertyPath.ITEM_CLASS, ItemClass.TASK_REQUEST);

            FindItemResponse response = service.findItem(StandardFolder.TASKS, TaskPropertyPath.getAllPropertyPaths(), restriction);

            for (int i = 0; i < response.getItems().size(); i++)
            {
                if (response.getItems().get(i) instanceof Task)
                {
                    ItemId taskRequestId = response.getItems().get(i).getItemId();

                    Item item = service.getItem(taskRequestId);

                    ItemAttachment itemAttachment = (ItemAttachment) service.getAttachment(item.getAttachments().get(0).getId());

                    Task task = (Task) itemAttachment.getItem();

                    System.out.println("Subject = " + task.getSubject());
                    System.out.println("StartDate = " + task.getStartDate());
                    System.out.println("DueDate = " + task.getDueDate());
                    System.out.println("Owner = " + task.getOwner());
                    System.out.println("Body Preview = " + task.getBodyPlainText());
                    System.out.println("----------------------------------------------------------------");

                    //Accept task and create new task in the Tasks folder
                    ItemId taskId = service.createItem(task, StandardFolder.TASKS);

                    //Delete TaskRequest from the Inbox
                    service.deleteItem(taskRequestId);

                }
            }
        }
        catch (ServiceException e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            System.out.println(e.getXmlMessage());

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
