[Building Sakai] courier in Sakai 2.9

[Jim Eng]

Dave,

The Courier Service was deprecated back in April.  It looks like you are aware of these tickets, but I'll mention them here: 

https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-22053
https://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/GAM-15

Comments in the code say there are better ways to push messages to the client, but they do not say what the powers-that-be consider a better approach at this point. 

As I understand it, you are looking for info about how to enable courier deliveries in 2.9 and you will be looking for a better solution for 2.10.   

Jim

Is there a simple way to just turn the courier back on?  In the long run we'll see if find an efficient way to avoid the courier overhead but in the immediate term we need to get this working. While chat in 2.9 uses the courier and keeps it running while the chat is open we can't rely on a single tool to switch the courier on and off.  The tool in question is Global Alerts which needs to be able to send it's broadcast messages to users regardless of the specific tool or site they are using.
