Share contact book from java application with CardDAV

Question

I want to share with my colleagues a contact book, created with and used/managed by our application. We thought to share the contacts with our phones via CardDAV protocol.

Is there any well documented Library which implements the CardDAV protocol and help us to make those data reachable from an iPhone/Android Phonebook ?

Answer 1

On the server side, you can look at Milton; for the client, you have to do even more of the heavy lifting yourself, but Bedeworks looks like it has a decent start of a generic DAV client that can be used for CardDAV access in Java. For iOS you're looking at something like http://sabre.io/dav/clients/ios/
