[Building Sakai] New web service for site membership status

[Noah Botimer]

Nicola,

You'll need to pass the site back to the site service to commit the changes. That is, something like this:

		if (membership.isActive() && !active) {
			LOG.error("membership is active but we want it to be inactive");
			membership.setActive(false);
		} else if (!membership.isActive() && active) {
			LOG.error("membership is inactive, but we want it to be active");
			membership.setActive(true);
		}
		siteService.save(site);

Thanks,
-Noah

The get method works great, however the set method doesn't seem to be working - the status of the user's enrollment doesn't change. I'd love to know if anyone has any thoughts on why this might not be working. Oh, this is a sakai 2-6-x install. Thanks!
