[Building Sakai] Assignment web service

[Zhen Qian]

Sean:

I tried the WSAssignment.jws service and here is what I found:

1) there is a typo inside your perl file below:

> my $result = $scriptsoap->createAssignment($session, $title,  
> $dueTime, $openTime, $closeTime, $maxPoints, $gradeType,  
> $instructions, $subType);
should be:

my $result = $scriptsoap->createAssignment($session, $context,  
$title, $dueTime, $openTime, $closeTime, $maxPoints, $gradeType,  
$instructions, $subType);

2) The integrateGradebook() function seems to be outdated and need  
some modification. How about if you comment out the following line  
inside your jws and see if the addAssignment works(it worked for me!)

integrateGradebook(aReference, null, "add", title, maxGradePoints,  
dt, null, null, context);

Thanks,

- Zhen
