[Building Sakai] Web service to get list of all users

[Steve Swinsburg]

You could create a bit of code that listens for the user.login event and then checks if the user is a member of the site, and if not, adds them. Check out the java.util.Observer interface, the Events that Sakai publishes are Observable.

cheers,
Steve
