[Building Sakai] Sakai and Peoplesoft

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi Katherine,

It's relatively simple to use a Quartz job (ie a simple script written  
in Java and run like a cronjob) to take your XML feed and keep the  
list of users in sites in sync, if that is what you are after. I've  
done this with a web service sitting on top of the Callista SIS but it  
could easily be adapted to an XML file.

If you are interested in this I can point you at my Quartz job which  
you can adapt for your own needs.


cheers,
Steve
