I've been working with the Gdata API for Java (v2), and have figured out how to fetch events by their id. However, I'm having trouble fetching exceptions to recurring events.
For a regular event, I would fetch it as such:
CalendarEventEntry event = getCalendarService().getEntry(new URL("https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/"+googleCalId+"/private/full/"+eventId), CalendarEventEntry.class);
and the url being queried would look something like this:
https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/772olgd23vedk7cmvmqgcke5jps%40group.calendar.google.com/private/full/6qlnf002ge3kh6fmp3i6skbuk
And it fetches with no issue!
Easy peasy.
However, when I try to fetch an event that is an exception to a recurring event using the same method, I run into problems. The url of the repeating event would be
https://www.google.com/calendar/feeds/772olgd23vedk7cmvmqgcke5jps%40group.calendar.google.com/private/full/6qlnf002ge3kh6fmp3i6skbuk_20120112
Same url, with _20120112 appended. The nature of the problem:
com.google.gdata.util.ResourceNotFoundException: Not Found

Anybody have any ideas why this is happening or better ways to go about this?
