[Building Sakai] Adding method to Site Service not seen in other web-apps

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi,

You'll need to ensure that the role of the user that is making the change has the correct permission. This will allow the security check to pass.  IIRC, for changing the description of a site, this is the site.upd permission, however that is tied to a number of other site modifications. 

You'd need more fine grained control:
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-7768

Your other issue is probably to due with duplicate jars in shared lib, and Tomcat picking the first (generally older) version.

cheers,
Steve

Although I was able to add it my code, they both used Kernel's SiteService's save() or saveSiteInfo()'s methods.  In these methods there is a lock on the permissions to not allow a TA (or by save() other groups) to modify, and I received a lock error in my logs.  I noticed that my web-app code, web's IframeAction, that it uses the SiteService's cover.  I went into the SiteService api class and added a similar method (ie save2() and saveSiteInfo2()) and then added those methods into the SiteService cover class.  I also added the methods to the BaseSiteService class which implements the SiteService class.  In this implementation I removed the lock.
