[Building Sakai] Web service and Samigo (repost)

[Karen Tsao]

Hi Earle,

There is no API for you to use in current Samigo. You can either create a
JIRA under Samigo, or, if you would like to implement this yourself, you can
try to add overloaded methods with additional siteId parameter in following
places:

1. In AssessmentFacadeQueries.java, add overloaded methods
for*registerWithCurrentSite
* and *createAssessmentWithoutDefaultSection*.
2. In AssessmentService.java, add an overloaded method for *
createAssessmentWithoutDefaultSection*.
3. In AuthoringHelper.java, add an overloaded method for *
createImportedAssessment* .
4. In QTIService.java, add an overloaded method for *
createImportedAssessment*.

And now you can make a call to the new qtiService.createImportedAssessment.
Please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Karen
