[Building Sakai] need to be able to load a ZIP file through some REST interface (/direct?)

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Most of the time the data is coming in as json or xml or request
params so things are geared to handle those cases with little extra
work. You case is a little more unusual so you will have to do
something a little more involved.

Most of the docs are in the javadocs but you can either handle this
through something like this:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/entitybroker/trunk/api/src/java/org/sakaiproject/entitybroker/entityprovider/capabilities/InputTranslatable.java

Or you can simply use an annotation to define it so you grab the incoming data:
EntityCustomAction

Or you can just grab the Request and do anything you like with it like so:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/entitybroker/trunk/api/src/java/org/sakaiproject/entitybroker/entityprovider/capabilities/RequestAware.java

Let me know if you have trouble getting what you need from that.
