TFCalender
The TwinFeats Calender is a handy JavaBean for displaying arbitrary calendar data from a text configuration file either stored locally or optionally anywhere on the web. If you want to see the TFCalendar in action we have an sample one already set up . To set up your own calendar the first thing you need to do is create the text configuration file. Here is a sample:

The format of this file isn't terribly complex but it is still quite powerful to describe just about any kind of event. Each event to describe in the file starts with a line like:
[Omaha Chess Club]
This line specifies the event name which will be displayed in the calendar. There are five lines that follow:
Start date=1/1/1997
The starting date for the event, which MUST be in the form month/day/year.
End date=12/31/2010
The ending date for the event, may be the same as the start date for single day events.
Period
This specifies the nature of a recurring event, it must be one of day,week,month,year,day of week (monday,tuesday,etc). Examples: For an event that is every day for a given date range you would use day. For events that are occur on a weekly basis use week.
Freq
This specifies the frequency of the period for a recurring event, it must be a number or one of first,second,third,fourth,last. Any of these options except a number is only valid with a day of week Period.
