Contact.getNotes() always return null

[moimael]

Hi,

I'm using ews-java-api to get some contact details. I can get everything I need except for notes. No matter what I write in the note field, the api return me a null string.

I test it with Exchange 2010 OWA.

Thanks !

Could you attach a trace listener to the ExchangeService and see if the notes are in the XML returned from the Exchange Server?

I activated the trace listener but I can't find how to use it, even by looking at the code...

Something like the following:

ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP1, TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
service.setTraceEnabled(true);
service.setTraceListener(new ITraceListener() {                 
    @Override
    public void trace(String traceType, String traceMessage) {
        System.out.println(traceMessage);                       
    }
});

Ok testing with trace listener showed me that note content was returned but in the body. So using contact.getBody() did the trick. So what is contact.getNotes() purpose ?

I'm afraid I'm not sure. Sounds like the server is serializing a contact's notes into the wrong XML field.
