[Building Sakai] Entity broker interface to Forums

[Marc Savitsky]

Hi All,

I am trying to write an entity broker interface to the sakai forums.  
There are already some custom methods to get messages etc, but I need to 
implement the standard createEntity, updateEntity and deleteEntity 
methods for both messages and topics.

The trouble is that the api calls saveMessage(message) and 
saveTopic(topic) both make calls to currentTool and currentContext.  It 
makes these calls so that logging can work, which is important to 
provide an audit trace.  Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I can 
get a tool and a context so this functionality when making direct calls 
from another application?

I have opened a jira for this :
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/MSGCNTR-664?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=151222#comment-151222

many thanks
