The body of

CalEventLocalServiceUtil.getEvents(groupId, type, begin,
end);

is:

	public List<calevent> getEvents(
			long groupId, String type, int begin, int end)
		throws SystemException {

		if (Validator.isNull(type)) {
			return calEventPersistence.findByGroupId(groupId, begin, end);
		}
		else {
			return calEventPersistence.findByG_T(groupId, type, begin, end);
		}
	}
</calevent>

So, using

CalEventLocalServiceUtil.getEvents(10023, null, 0, 1000);

works fine. Problem is still that you can't specify a time interval.
I'll see if we can add this in as it really sounds reasonable.

Go to event_iterator.jspf

1. Copy the selCal value to a new tempCalender Object

2. start a for loop initialized with 0, its max limit 'n' can be ur wish.

3. replace CalEventLocalServiceUtil.getEvents's Date object parameter with our new tempCalender Object.

--------
exixting code

--------

4. atlast increment tempCalender's Date field, repeat the loop


This ll display events from selectedDate/currentDate to selectedDate/currentDate + n days.

You can try something similar to this right now:

@SuppressWarnings({ "unchecked", "rawtypes" })
private List<CalEvent> getEvents(ClientDataRequest portletRequest, RetrieveEventsAction action) throws SystemException {
ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay) requestProvider.getPortletRequest().getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
Long groupId = themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId();

DynamicQuery dynamicQuery = DynamicQueryFactoryUtil.forClass(CalEvent.class);
Conjunction primaryCriteria = RestrictionsFactoryUtil.conjunction();
primaryCriteria.add(PropertyFactoryUtil.forName("startDate").between(action.getStartDate(), action.getEndDate()));
primaryCriteria.add(PropertyFactoryUtil.forName("groupId").eq(groupId));
dynamicQuery.add(primaryCriteria);

return (List) CalEventLocalServiceUtil.dynamicQuery(dynamicQuery);
}
