[Building Sakai] Authorization of new tools

[Hui Jin]

I have tried both FunctionManager and the <function> tag in my xml file. But the it doesn't create any record in SAKAI_REALM_FUNCTION table. I can see my function is registered with the FunctionManager. What it does is that put the function in the list m_registeredFunctions. Did I miss anything? 

Thanks,

Hui

You can also use the tool registration xml file to register
functions... this is the xml file in the directory named 'tools' in
the web root of the tool:

<registration>
  <function name="user.message.via.sms"/>
.
.
.

</registration>

For obscure (to me) reasons, this method is considered less ideal than
programmatic registration.
