[Building Sakai] Using web service to import test

Love it! I'm just unsure how deep the word2qti naming schema goes, or how
dramatic it would be to change it.

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*<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*<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.
