[caldeveloper-l] How to avoid time conflict or overlap for CalDAV?

[Thomas Schäfer]

Hi,

There are no stupid questions.

The CalDAV Server will not have a conflict, as it is totally ok to have multiple events at the same time.

Let me try to explain this with an example:

Your Birthday might be the next week on Thursday, 23rd. So, there might be an all-day event in your calendar.
In the US, next Thursday is Thanksgiving (bank holiday) as well. This might also end up as an all-day event in your calendar. Both are interesting to you and need to be there. They happen at the same time, but don’t necessarily imply a conflict.

That is from calendaring view point true for all events. Only you can determine, if events really conflict with each other and decide what to do. Availability information only help people trying to schedule events with you, that there are conflicting and not conflicting timeslots in your calendar, but this does not mean, that non-conflicting timeslots in your calendar are also good for you. Maybe you do not have all your obligations in one calendar (office vs. family) or others.

CalDAV server don’t answer that questions to you and store all events in your calendar and you as a person have to decide what to make out of it.

Does this help you?

Hello.

I read RFC 4791 for CalDAV.
So I have question for time conflict or overlap between two event in same
calendar.

Let me explain by instance. I made an event PM1 ~ PM6 in calendar. And
then I try to made another event PM2~7 in same calendar. It is time
conflict or overlap.

How does CalDav server resolve this conflict? Does server make error
response when second event make?

Thanks for reading.

P.S. I am beginer for CalDAV. So my question may be stupid. Also my
primary language is not English. Please understand two points.
