Fun with GroupWise in Bungee Connect

Filed under: Bungee Connect, Cool Blogs, Novell — Ted Haeger @ 9:52 am

GroupWIse iconYes, I used a mac to make this movie.In my quest to learn how to develop software in Bungee Connect, I decided to use the SOAP service for Novell GroupWise. I chose to use GroupWise as a reference platform for two reasons. First, the SOAP API for GroupWise has all the sophistication you could want: multiple levels of object inheritance, and its scope is comprehensive to say the least. (I wish I had understood that when I was in charge of marketing for GroupWise!) Second, nine years of working at Novell left me knowing how GroupWise works, so I would know when I actually got something to work.

Here’s a video of the project I am working on, available in patent-encumbered mpeg4, and freedom-loving Xiph (Ogg).If you would like access to my source code, drop me a line. I’m happy to provide you with the code and guidance on developing in Bungee Connect.

  1. Damn fine icons there, Ted. I like the part of the video where you say “…and thanks to bear454 for importing FreeDesktop.org’s Tango Icons into the Bungee environment!” ;-)

  2. @James:
    Indeed, I do owe that guy some kudos. The icons make the app, really.

    And Jakub Steiner (jimmac) likely deserves some kudos, too.
