[Building Sakai] Resources Access via Database

[Jeff Davidson]

In follow up to this need, we were wondering
if it's possible to build a repository of files within
a project site under Resources and then access it
from multiple course sites and/or project sites
within Sakai

Thanks,
 
Jeff

Hi Jon,

There is a Resources entity broker feed being/already developed which
you could use instead of SQL perhaps? There was a post about it
yesterday, see if that does what you need? Otherwise there are SOAP web
services too (in the provisional section of web services module but may
need fleshing out)

cheers,
Steve

I have the need to access files uploaded to Resources, 'outside' of
Sakai and WEBDAV, and am curious if this is even possible.

For example – under Resources is a Policies folder, and multiple
documents that will change. I'd like to list those file with links to
them in a webpage on another server.  The file names will change and the
number of files in that folder may change as well so the list will have
to be dynamic, not simply hardcoded to resources.

Can I query the database to build a set of urls if I know the SAKAI_ID?
 And if so – anyone have any pointers or SQL they'd like to share?

Thanks in advance.
