[Building Sakai] Using web service to import test

I updated the JIRA http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAM-942 with our patch.
I agree that word2qti is kind of confusing, therefore, I added a comment in the SamLite.jws
" Create assessment from a word2qti formatted text"
Hope that explains a little when people using the service.
Yes, Earle, creating two endpoints for different inputs works for me. I like the createAssessment method name and people may pick up the one fit into their needs by the paramenters, Earle has very detailed description for each paramenter and that helps.
Or how about following if we don't want to overloaded method:
createAssessmentFromText()
CreateAssessmentFromExportFile()

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

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)

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.
