[Building Sakai] coursemanagement service and Course vs CourseSection objects

[Gross,Christopher]

Hello!

I have touched on this in the past but only get a chance to look at this every few months, which I am back on it.  We use the course management API extensively and at the same time have modified gradebook slightly so that exports include a few extra columns, one of them being the section information passed in by the CM API.  The problem I am encountering is that when I attempt to get the CourseSection object, using EnrollmentRecord.getLearningContext() the object being returned is of type Course and not CourseSection.  I need CourseSection objects to get the proper title.  I cannot determine if this is a problem in the code I am using or in how we are forming our XML for the CM API imports.  I pulled the method for doing this from the sample-course-grade-converter module located in the gradebook tool - ~line 112 of CourseGradesToSpreadsheetConverterSample.java.  An example of what our CM XML looks like is attached.
