CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
1. Introduction
CalDAV [RFC4791] provides a way for calendar users to store calendar
data and exchange this data via scheduling operations. Based on the
WebDAV [RFC4918] protocol, it also includes the ability to manage
access to calendar data via the WebDAV ACL [RFC3744] extension.
It is often useful for servers to communicate arbitrary information
to calendar users, e.g., system status, message of the day, quota
warnings, changes to shared resources made by others etc. This
specification defines a generic "notification" mechanism that allows
a server to do that. Whilst primarily aimed at CalDAV [RFC4791],
this mechanism has been designed to be adaptable to WebDAV [RFC4918].
2. Open Issues
1. Define specific child elements for system status notification,
e.g. "server-maintenance-period", "server-read-only-period",
"client-upgrade-required".
3. Conventions Used in This Document
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
When XML element types in the namespaces "DAV:" and
"urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:caldav" are referenced in this document
outside of the context of an XML fragment, the string "DAV:" and
"CALDAV:" will be prefixed to the element type names respectively.
The namespace "http://calendarserver.org/ns/" is used for XML
elements defined in this specification. When XML element types in
that namespace are referenced in this document outside of the context
of an XML fragment, the string "CS:" will be prefixed to the element
type names.
4. Notifications
When this feature is available, a CS:notification-URL (Section 4.1.1)
property appears on principal resources for those principals who are
able to receive notifications. That property specifies a single DAV:
href element whose content refers to a WebDAV collection resource.
Notification "messages" are deposited into this collection and can be
retrieved by clients and acted on accordingly.
Daboo [Page 3]
CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
The notification collection referenced by the CS:notification-URL
(Section 4.1.1) property MUST have a DAV:resourcetype property with
DAV:collection and CS:notifications (Section 4.3.1) child elements.
Notification "messages" are XML documents stored as resources in the
notification collection. Each XML document contains a CS:
notification (Section 4.3.2) element as its root. The root element
contains a CS:dtstamp element, and one additional element which
represents the type of notification being conveyed in the message.
That child element will typically contain additional content that
describes the notification.
Each notification resource has a CS:notificationtype (Section 4.2.1)
property which contains as its single child element an empty element
that matches the child element of the notification resource XML
document root. Any attributes on the child element in the XML
document are also present in the property child element.
Notifications are automatically generated by the server (perhaps in
response to a action) with an appropriate resource stored in the
notifications collection of the user to whom the notification is
targeted. Clients SHOULD monitor the notification collection looking
for new notification resources. When doing so, clients SHOULD look
at the CS:notificationtype (Section 4.2.1) property to ensure that
the notification is of a type that the client can handle. Once a
client has handled the notification in whatever way is appropriate it
SHOULD delete the notification resource. Clients SHOULD remove
notifications being displayed to a user when the notification
resource is removed from the notification collection, to enable the
user to dismiss a notification on one device and have it
automatically removed from others. Clients MUST ignore all
notifications for types they do not recognize. Servers MAY delete
notification resources on their own if they determine that the
notifications are no longer relevant or valid. Servers MAY coalesce
notifications as appropriate.
Servers MUST prevent clients from adding resources in the
notification collection.
4.1. Additional Principal Properties
This section defines new properties for WebDAV principal resources as
defined in RFC3744 [RFC3744]. These properties are likely to be
protected but the server MAY allow them to be written by appropriate
users.
Daboo [Page 4]
CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
4.1.1. CS:notification-URL Property
Name: notification-URL
Namespace: http://calendarserver.org/ns/
Purpose: Identify the URL of the notification collection owned by
the associated principal resource.
Protected: This property SHOULD be protected.
PROPFIND behavior: This property SHOULD NOT be returned by a
PROPFIND allprop request (as defined in Section 14.2 of
[RFC4918]).
COPY/MOVE behavior: This property value SHOULD be preserved in COPY
and MOVE operations.
Description: This property is needed for a client to determine where
the notification collection of the current user is located so that
processing of notification messages can occur. If not present,
then the associated calendar user is not enabled for notification
messages on the server.
Definition:
<!ELEMENT notification-URL (DAV:href)>
4.2. Properties on Notification Resources
The following new WebDAV properties are defined for notification
resources.
4.2.1. CS:notificationtype Property
Name: notificationtype
Namespace: http://calendarserver.org/ns/
Purpose: Identify the type of notification of the corresponding
resource.
Protected: This property MUST be protected.
PROPFIND behavior: This property SHOULD NOT be returned by a
PROPFIND allprop request (as defined in Section 14.2 of
[RFC4918]).
Daboo [Page 5]
CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
COPY/MOVE behavior: This property value MUST be preserved in COPY
and MOVE operations.
Description: This property allows a client, via a PROPFIND Depth:1
request, to quickly find notification messages that the client can
handle in a notification collection. The single child element is
the notification resource root element's child defining the
notification itself. This element MUST be empty, though any
attributes on the element in the notification resource MUST be
present in the property element.
Definition:
<!ELEMENT notificationtype ANY>
<!-- Child elements are empty but will have appropriate attributes.
Any valid notification message child element can appear.-->
4.3. XML Element Definitions
4.3.1. CS:notifications
Name: notifications
Namespace: http://calendarserver.org/ns/
Purpose: Indicates a notification collection.
Description: This XML element is used in a DAV:resourcetype element
to indicate that the corresponding resource is a notification
collection.
Definition:
<!ELEMENT notifications EMPTY>
4.3.2. CS:notification
Name: notification
Namespace: http://calendarserver.org/ns/
Purpose: Notification message root element.
Description: The root element used in notification resources.
Daboo [Page 6]
CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
Definition:
<!ELEMENT notification (dtstamp, XXX) >
<!-- Any notification type element can appear after
CS:dtstamp -->
4.3.3. CS:dtstamp
Name: dtstamp
Namespace: http://calendarserver.org/ns/
Purpose: Date-time stamp.
Description: Contains the date-time stamp corresponding to the
creation of a notification message, using the format defined in
[RFC3339], or the "compact" format without "-" and ":" characters
between date and time elements, respectively.
Definition:
<!ELEMENT dtstamp (#PCDATA)>
<!-- Value is a date-time in UTZ as per [RFC3339] with
"compact" format allowed.-->
5. Notification Definitions
This section defines a set of common notification types.
5.1. System Status Notification
The system status notification is used to convey a URI and/or textual
description to the user. The assumption is that the URI points to a
webpage where current system status is described in detail, with the
provided description being a summary of that. A "type" attribute on
the element is used to indicate the importance of the current status
notification, and has the values "low", "medium" and "high",
representing the increasing level of importance of the message
respectively.
Servers might have knowledge of specific calendar user language
preferences, in which case it MAY localise the CS:description value
as appropriate based on the calendar user accessing the notification,
but if it does, it SHOULD include an xml:lang attribute on the CS:
description element to indicate what language is being used.
Daboo [Page 7]
CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
5.1.1. CS:systemstatus Element Definition
Name: systemstatus
Namespace: http://calendarserver.org/ns/
Purpose: Indicates a system status notification.
Description: This XML element is used in a CS:notification element
to describe a system status notification.
Definition:
<!ELEMENT systemstatus (DAV:href?, CS:description?)>
<!ATTLIST systemstatus type (low | medium | high) "low">
<!ELEMENT description CDATA>
<!-- One of DAV:href of CS:description MUST be present -->
Example: This is an example of the body of a notification resource
for an emergency system outage:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CS:notification xmlns:D="DAV:"
xmlns:CS="http://calendarserver.org/ns/">
<CS:dtstamp>2011-12-09T11:12:53-05:00</CS:dtstamp>
<CS:systemstatus type="high">
<D:href>http://example.com/emergency_shutdown.html</D:href>
<CS:description xml:lang='en_US'
>Emergency shutdown now</CS:description>
</CS:systemstatus>
</CS:notification>
Example: This is an example of the WebDAV property on the example
notification resource above:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CS:notificationtype xmlns:D="DAV:"
xmlns:CS="http://calendarserver.org/ns/">
<CS:systemstatus type="high" />
</CS:notificationtype>
5.2. Quota Notification
The quota notification is used to convey information about the status
of one or more quotas for the user. The notification contains
elements for different types of quota being reported to the user. In
Daboo [Page 8]
CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
some cases these may be warnings (e.g., a user getting to 80% of
their quota limit), or in other cases errors (e.g., a user exceeding
their quota).
5.2.1. CS:quotastatus Element Definition
Name: quotastatus
Namespace: http://calendarserver.org/ns/
Purpose: Indicates a quota status notification.
Description: This XML element is used in a CS:notification element
to describe a quota status notification. The CS:quota-percent-
used element contains an integer greater than or equal to zero.
If the value is greater than or equal to 100, then the user's
quota has been reached or exceeded. The DAV:href element contains
a URI for a webpage where the user can go to get further
information about their quota status or take corrective action.
Definition:
<!ELEMENT quota-status (quota+)>
<!ELEMENT quota (quota-type, quota-percent-used?,
quota-count?, DAV:href?)>
<!ATTLIST quota type (warning | exceeded) "exceeded">
<!ELEMENT quota-type ANY>
<!-- Child elements are application specific -->
<!ELEMENT quota-percent-used CDATA>
<!-- Integer value greater than or equal to zero -->
<!ELEMENT quota-count CDATA>
<!-- Integer value greater than or equal to zero -->
Example: This is an example of the body of a notification resource
for a quota warning:
Daboo [Page 9]

Example: This is an example of the body of a notification resource
for a quota that has been exceeded, and a count-based limit that
is shown as a warning:

<D:href>https://example.com/buy-more-space.html</D:href>
</CS:quota>
</CS:quota-status>
</CS:notification>
5.3. Resource Changes Notification
The resource change notification is used to inform the user of new,
updated or deleted resources caused by changes made by someone else
(note: servers MUST NOT generate notifications to users for changes
they themselves make, though the possibility of an automated process
acting on behalf of a user needs to be considered). This
notification can be used by clients to show changes that a user can
acknowledge in their own time. When the notification is present, it
can be displayed on all devices a user is accessing their data from.
When the user acknowledges and dismisses the notification on one
device, other devices SHOULD also remove the notification when they
Daboo [Page 10]
CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
next synchronize the notification collection.
A new WebDAV property CS:notify-changes (Section 5.3.4) is defined
for calendar collections. This allows users to enable or disable the
sending of resource change notifications for the calendar and its
child resources. Servers MUST allow users to set this property on a
per-user basis on any calendars accessible to them. Servers MUST
honor the chosen setting to enable or disable change notifications.
Servers can send notifications for calendar object resources, and
ones for calendar collections. Servers SHOULD coalesce notifications
that refer to the same resource into a single notification resource,
containing multiple CS:created, CS:updated or CS:deleted elements all
with the same DAV:href child element value. Servers MAY coalesce
changes to multiple resources into a change notification for the
parent collection of those resources and use a CS:collection-changes
element to indicate the number of individual resources that changed.
5.3.1. CS:resource-change Element Definition
Name: resource-change
Namespace: http://calendarserver.org/ns/
Purpose: Indicates that resources have been created, updated or
deleted.
Description: This XML element is used in a CS:notification element
to describe a resource change notification. It can describe a
change directly to a calendar object resource or to a calendar
collection.
When used for a calendar object resource change, it can contain
one of the CS:created, or CS:deleted elements, or multiple CS:
updated elements, which indicate a created, deleted or updated
resource, respectively. The DAV:href element within those
elements, contains the URI of the changed resource, optional
information about who changed the resource and when that change
was made (the CS:changed-by element), and information specific to
the nature of the change. Servers SHOULD coalesce resource change
notifications for the same resource into a single notification
resource where possible. The CS:updated element optionally
contains CS:content and/or DAV:prop elements to indicate a change
to the body of the resource or resource WebDAV properties,
respectively. The DAV:prop element MAY contain a list of property
elements to indicate which properties changed. The CS:updated
element can also contain zero or more CS:calendar-changes elements
to list details of the changes. If no CS:calendar-changes element
Daboo [Page 11]
CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
is present, the specific details are not provided, and clients
will need to assume that some set of changes occurred, but the
server is unwilling to disclose the full details. The CS:deleted
element can also contain zero or more CS:deleted-details elements
to list details of the deleted resource.
When used for a calendar collection change, it can contain a CS:
collection-changes element. The DAV:href element within that
element, contains the URI of the changed calendar collection. The
DAV:prop element indicates a change to WebDAV properties on the
calendar collection resource. The CS:child-created, CS:child-
updated, and CS:child-deleted elements each contain a positive
integer value indicating how many child resources were added,
updated or deleted in the collection, respectively.

5.3.2.1. Handling Recurrences in CS:calendar-changes
Changes to recurring components can be complex. This section
describes the possible set of changes that could occur, and what the
CS:calendar-changes element will contain as a result.
Master exists, unchanged override added In this case, a CS:
recurrence element will be present, containing a CS:recurrence-id
element with a value equal to the RECURRENCE-ID property value (in
UTC) of the added component. A CS:added element will be present.
There will not be any CS:removed or CS:changes elements.
Master exists, changed override added In this case, a CS:recurrence
element will be present, containing a CS:recurrence-id element
with a value equal to the RECURRENCE-ID property value (in UTC) of
the added component. Both CS:added and CS:changes elements will
be present. There will not be a CS:removed element.
Master exists, override changed In this case, a CS:recurrence
element will be present, containing a CS:recurrence-id element
with a value equal to the RECURRENCE-ID property value (in UTC) of
the added component. A CS:changes element will be present. There
will not be any CS:added or CS:removed elements.

CalDAV User Notifications March 2012
Master exists, override removed In this case, a CS:recurrence
element will be present, containing a CS:recurrence-id element
with a value equal to the RECURRENCE-ID property value (in UTC) of
the added component. A CS:removed element will be present. There
will not be a CS:added element. A CS:changes element will only be
present if the removed component differs from the "derived" master
instance.
Master exists, override cancelled In this case, a CS:recurrence
element will be present, containing a CS:recurrence-id element
with a value equal to the RECURRENCE-ID property value (in UTC) of
the added component. A CS:removed element will be present. There
will not be any CS:added or CS:changes element. There will also
be a CS:master element present, with an appropriate CS:changes
element, likely covering a change to "RRULE" or addition of
"EXDATE" properties.
Master does not exist, override added In this case, a CS:recurrence
element will be present, containing a CS:recurrence-id element
with a value equal to the RECURRENCE-ID property value (in UTC) of
the added component. A CS:added element will be present. There
will not be a CS:removed or CS:changes element.
Master does not exist, override changed In this case, a CS:
recurrence element will be present, containing a CS:recurrence-id
element with a value equal to the RECURRENCE-ID property value (in
