    <p>I am interested in a way to programmatically log into OWA (Microsoft Outlook Web Access - a web-based email client) from Java code and retrieve nothing more than the inbox unread count -- I can read this number from the inbox web page's HTML source - but the problem is getting there - logging in.</p> <p>Essentially, from looking at the HTML source of the OWA logon page, I can see that there is an HTML form element:</p> <pre><code>&lt;form action="owaauth.dll" method="POST" name="logonForm" autocomplete="off"&gt; </code></pre> <p>that gets submitted by a button element within it:</p> <pre><code>&lt;input type="submit" class="btn" value="Log On" onclick="clkLgn()"&gt; </code></pre> <p>From investigating the clkLgn() script, I find that it sends a cookie to the document so it may not be crucial:</p> <pre><code>function clkLgn() { if(gbid("rdoPrvt").checked) { var oD=new Date(); oD.setTime(oD.getTime()+2*7*24*60*60*1000); var sA="acc="+(gbid("chkBsc").checked?1:0); var sL="lgn="+gbid("username").value; document.cookie="logondata="+sA+"&amp;"+sL+";expires="+oD.toUTCString(); } } </code></pre> <p>Basically, how can I send this form? The following code is my attempt at the problem, I can make the HTTP connection - but I can't seem to be able to POST the correct HTTP request.</p> <pre><code> URL urlObject = new URL(url); HttpURLConnection hConnection = (HttpURLConnection)urlObject.openConnection(); HttpURLConnection.setFollowRedirects(true); hConnection.setDoOutput(true); hConnection.setRequestMethod("POST"); PrintStream ps = new PrintStream(hConnection.getOutputStream()); ps.print("username="+username+"&amp;amp;password="+password); ps.close(); hConnection.connect(); if( HttpURLConnection.HTTP_OK == hConnection.getResponseCode() ) { InputStream is = hConnection.getInputStream(); OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("output.html"); int data; while((data=is.read()) != -1) { os.write(data); } is.close(); os.close(); hConnection.disconnect(); } </code></pre> <p>It just keeps returning the same logon HTML page.</p>

    1. COOWA and Sharepoint both like to use hidden fields for "security". Grab a toolbar for your browser that will show form fields and post a listing of all the fields and their values. Clear cookies, refresh the page, and post that information again to see what changes.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
