    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        try
        {
            Service service = new Service("https://myserver/ews/Exchange.asmx", "username", "password");

            SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");
            Date startTime = dateFormat.parse("2024-06-01 10:00:00");
            Date endTime = dateFormat.parse("2024-06-01 10:00:00");

            DailyRecurrencePattern pattern = new DailyRecurrencePattern(2);
            NumberedRecurrenceRange range = new NumberedRecurrenceRange(startTime, 20);

            //Daily recurrence. Every second day, next 20 days
            TaskRecurrence recurrence = new TaskRecurrence();
            recurrence.setPattern(pattern);
            recurrence.setRange(range);

            Task task = new Task();
            task.setSubject("Test");
            task.setBody(new Body("Body text"));
            task.setOwner("My Name");
            task.setStartDate(startTime);
            task.setDueDate(endTime);
            task.setRecurrence(recurrence);

            ItemId itemId = service.createItem(task);
        }
        catch (ServiceException e)
        {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
            System.out.println(e.getXmlMessage());

            e.printStackTrace();
        }
