[Building Sakai] Howto Pull data from sakai in Java

[cn19998]

Thanks Steve. It's quite helpful.


Now I have been experimented a bit about the sakai's Entity Broker using a restclient plugin in firefox. However, when view the description of Entities (the default Entities came with sakai release, like http://localhost:8080/direct/profile/describe ), I found it hard to understand. Most of the URIs does not tell me what parameters are available. I tried to search throught the source code of sakai and found some class called XXEntityProvider.java. Inside there is still no params list. Is there a documentation or some javadoc-like things telling me what parameters are available for one entity. For example, if I want to know all parameters available to http://localhost:8080/direct/session (except for _username=name, _password=pass), where should I be looking for?

Hi
 
Have a look at the sakai programmers manual. It explains injecting the beans. Almost everything is available. 
 
There are also three types of webservices. Axis, cxf and rest. Keitai hasn't been suspended, the initial development has been completed. Go to /direct to see the results.
 
Cheers
 Steve

 Hello everyone, 

 I would like to know if there is any API of Sakai so that I could pull some data from Sakai's serve to my local machine. I have checked the official document. But there seems to be only guide to help programmer contribute to Sakai. Nothing about API is mentioned. Besides, a project aimed at providing mobile support for Sakai (called Keitai) seems to have been suspended. I found a "hook" described in the hoempage: 

     Therefore, the scope of Project Keitai has been defined as creating the “hooks” in ALL current core tools and a small number of selected Contrib tools to enable those tools to communicate with mobile apps developed or adopted at the institutional level. 

 But no more information is given there. Do anyone have any knowledge about where I can have more informatioin on this? 
 Plus, I have only learned Java so a Java API would be great! 

 Thanks.
