[Building Sakai] Using web service to import test

[Karen Tsao]

Hi Yuanhua,

Please take a look at XmlUtil.readDocument. It gets you the Document object.
Once you have the document, skip those SamiLite process and pass it directly
into qtiService.createImportedAssessment (the new API that Earlie created) .
That is, commented out following lines:

SamLiteService samLiteService = (SamLiteService)
ComponentManager.get("org_sakaiproject_tool_assessment_services_samlite_SamLiteService");

...
QuestionGroup questionGroup =
samLiteService.parse(FormattedText.escapeHtml(title, false),
FormattedText.escapeHtml(description, false), FormattedText.escapeHtml(data,
false));
...

Please give this a try and let me know if this works for you.

Thanks,
Karen
