[Earle Nietzel]

Nate you didn't know I am secretly working for M$!

But how about createTextAssessment?

Too bad we call it word2qti when it doesn't really have anything to do 
with MS Word. text2qti makes more sense.

Hi Qu, 

Maybe we should create 2 WS endpoints one that supports the Word2QTI for 
those that need to import plain text assessments and then another endpoint 
which imports assessments already in the IMS xml format? 

Maybe these endpoints make sense: 

public boolean createWordAssessment(String sessionid, String siteid, 
String siteproperty, String title, String description, String template, 
String data) 
public boolean createXmlAssessment(String sessionid, String siteid, String 
siteproperty, String title, String description, String template, String 
xmldata) 

regards, 
Earle

Thanks Karen.

With your guide, I just made it working the way I wanted  -  Importing the 
exported assessment qti xml file directly into a site.   I add another 
XmlUtil.readDocument(File file) and did some modification with 
SamLite.jws.

If it is useful, I’ll clean up the change and make a patch to the JIRA 
 SAM-942.

Thanks again for your help.

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

I think I might find the reason why it failed me in the first place. -- 
 It is “The format of the assessment file that is going to import”.  

I tried with another file called importTest.txt as per attachment  (I 
guess this is the Word2QTI format) as per 
http://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/QTI/Home  and used the same 
perl script to call the web service and the test was imported with the 
questions in the importTest.txt.  It has the test and all the questions in 
the site now.

Well, Is there a web service created for importing the exported assessment 
like exportAssessment.xml directly?  Any quick pointer to let me know 
which method to call if I need to write my own web service for this 
purpose?  

Thanks.

I was looking at http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-942 and saw that 
Earle was able to import assessment by using the services included in the 
patch.  I didn’t have the luck and would like to see if you know what 
might be wrong in my case.

I’m using sakai2.6.2 and applied both patches for SamLite APIs and web 
services.  I’m using Perl script to call the service to import the 
assessment in file exportAssessment.xml 



open FILE, "data/exportAssessment.xml" or die $!;
my $siteid = '5f852a89-eb01-4b0e-8f2f-f581eea945fc';
while (<FILE>) {
        $data .= $_;
}
close FILE;

my $result = $scriptsoap->createAssessment($session, $siteid, "", "WS test 
creation 3", "first test created by WS", "Default Assessment Type", 
$data)->result;




I did see test named “WS test creation 3” created in the site, but the 
question was not imported into the test.  

I have no problem importing the assessment by using “Import” button in the 
site.  Any help would be appreciated?

Thanks.
