[Building Sakai] checkForSite issue

[Steve Swinsburg]

Jon,

What's the value you are passing in as your siteid?

And what version Sakai/webservices are you running? For me on trunk,  
passing in 'blah' as the siteid (where blah is an invalid siteid)  
returns false. By the way, this particular webservice actually returns  
a boolean, so in some clients that might be interpreted as a string -  
it's non empty therefore might be success.

For Perl, use a boolean type from SOAP::Lite:

my $true = SOAP::Data->value('true')->type('boolean');
my $false = SOAP::Data->value('')->type('boolean');
cheers,
Steve
