[Building Sakai] Web Service - Change Page Tool Order?

The issue with refactoring them out is it will break for everyone.
So what we've been doing is creating separate jws files for new tools like Gradebook.jws, Portfolio.jws etc, but keeping the current ones in SakaiScript. Though new ones could certainly be added to different files.
So you could actually just modify SakaiScript.jws and go from there.
cheers,
Steve

Cuz it could be a security thing??? Either way if there is a way to use Web Service to authenticate a user and create a JSESSIONID correctly without having to use sakai.session parameter… This is something I’m doing right now

Just dump all the imports on top you want, put it in a class with the same name as that file, have a constructor that uses ComponentManager to get whatever components you need and be off! You can put them right into this file too, but it can be more confusing for an updated.

I believe that ideally if there ever was a "Sakai Script 2.0" that some of these might be re-factored anyway into separate files. (Like Gradebook.jws, Assignment.jws, ContentManagement.jws, etc)
