[Building Sakai] Code for Create Course Site - Academic term

[Matthew Jones]

I don't think there *is* an API for setting the term, these are just
properties on the site.

In site-manage/../SiteAction.java it adds PROP_SITE_TERM (term) and
PROP_SITE_TERM_EID (term_eid) during course creation.
. . .
      // for course sites
      String siteType = (String) state.getAttribute(STATE_SITE_TYPE);
      if (siteType != null && siteType.equalsIgnoreCase((String)
state.getAttribute(STATE_COURSE_SITE_TYPE))) {
        AcademicSession term = null;
        if (state.getAttribute(STATE_TERM_SELECTED) != null) {
          term = (AcademicSession) state
              .getAttribute(STATE_TERM_SELECTED);
          rp.addProperty(Site.PROP_SITE_TERM, term.getTitle());
          rp.addProperty(Site.PROP_SITE_TERM_EID, term.getEid());
        }

There are a number of random properties that are just added that don't have
any API in front of them. :/ This is an example of what a course site
created through site-manage looks like:
