Creating an appointment in an exchange calendar using webdav (slide)

Question

Hello!
I am new in webdav. I am trying for a long time to create an appointment in
an exchange calendar (pubic folder) using webdav but without success.
I am despairing.
Here my programm:
String strCalendarURI = "http://server/public/test1";
HttpURL hrl = new HttpURL(strCalendarURI);
hrl.setUserinfo("user", "pw");
WebdavResource wdr = new WebdavResource(hrl);
wdr.setDebug(1);
Hashtable props = new Hashtable();
props.put(new PropertyName("DAV:", "contentclass"), "urn:content-classes:appointment");
props.put(new PropertyName("DAV:", "contentclass"), "urn:content-classes:appointment");
props.put(new PropertyName("http//schemas.microsoft.com/exchange", "outlookmessageclass"), "IPM.Appointment");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:httpmail","subject"), "Changed Test Appointment Subject");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:httpmail","htmldescription"), "Let's meet                here");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","location"), "do");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","dtstart"), "2006-01-01T10:00:00.000Z");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar", "dtend"), "2006-01-01T10:30:00.000Z");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","instancetype"), "0");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","alldayevent"), "0");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","responserequested"), "1");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","busystatus"), "BUSY");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:calendar","meetingstatus"), "CONFIRMED");
props.put(new PropertyName("header", "to"), "user");
props.put(new PropertyName("urn:schemas:mapi","finvited"), "1");
out.print("returned value ...     " + wdr.proppatchMethod(props, true));
The output:

It looks not so bad. But no appointment is created.
Where is the problem?
When i google for the problem i always find howtos for .NET but nearly nothing for java
Thank you for your help.
best regards
Bernhard
