[Building Sakai] Question in creating new course site

[Zhen Qian]

Phuc Bui:

Sakai handles site group and role integration with the Group Provider  
interface.  If you look further down that link, you could see the  
description of default CourseManagementGroupProvider and how to  
configure it.

So with your CourseManagementService implementation, you would also  
need to have your own CourseManagementGroupProvider, then register it  
in component.xml file as for  
"org.sakaiproject.authz.api.GroupProvider" bean.  And do not deploy  
the Sakai default providers, which are defined in providers module in  
your sakai course directory.

Hope this helps,

- Zhen
