[gradebook2-dev] Requesting input on Gradebook2 SampleInstitutionalAdvisor.submitFinalGrade(...) API

[Qu, Yuanhua]

We, at Texas State University, just finished final grade submission for this final.

First, I tried  with jersey Response object to be passed back as Michael Wenk suggested,  there were two obstacles at that time for us for this approach

1. It required higher version of jersey (we are using gb2 1.3.1 and will move to 1.7 if it is released in Jan,2012)
2. I couldn't make all pieces working properly even if I tried higher version within a short time

So I ended up second approach,  use the "normal" REST JSON way to send data back to the
Client  which like Thomas Amsler's suggestion, seemed easy for me to make it work as we expected, from the returning restful data, we can guide user to the submission server, or send error message to user if connection failed.

Thanks.

For those Institutions that are using the gradebook2 "Final Grade
Submission" feature via the InstitutionalAdvisor, I would like to know
how you are using the following API:

Source:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/contrib//gradebook2/trunk/api/src/java/org/sakaiproject/gradebook/gwt/sakai/InstitutionalAdvisor.java

API Method:
public void submitFinalGrade(List<Map<Column,String>> studentDataList,
String gradebookUid, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse
response);

In particular, I would like to know if anybody is using the
HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse method arguments and if so,
how you are using them? Also, would it be a problem if we would remove
the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse method arguments, and
instead use the "normal" REST JSON way to send data back to the
client. Maybe change the method signature to something like this:

public FinalGradeSubmissionResult
submitFinalGrade(List<Map<Column,String>> studentDataList, String
gradebookUid);

Comments?

Best,
-- Thomas
