[Building Sakai] Uploading files to Resources via RESTful API?

[Sam Ottenhoff]

One note: John Bush from ANI led a rewrite of the Axis-based webservices
for Sakai 10.  This work is in webservices/cxf.  One of the main complaints
we heard about Axis webservices were odd issues with the JWS compilation
especially if the webservices were accessed during node startup.  Here is
an example of a method signature in SakaiScript.java in the new CXF-based
webservices. This method would be accessible via REST or SOAP.

    @WebMethod
    @Path("/addNewUser")
    @Produces("text/plain")
    @GET
    public String addNewUser(
            @WebParam(name = "sessionid", partName = "sessionid")
@QueryParam("sessionid") String sessionid,
            @WebParam(name = "eid", partName = "eid") @QueryParam("eid")
String eid,
            @WebParam(name = "firstname", partName = "firstname")
@QueryParam("firstname") String firstname,
            @WebParam(name = "lastname", partName = "lastname")
@QueryParam("lastname") String lastname,
            @WebParam(name = "email", partName = "email")
@QueryParam("email") String email,
            @WebParam(name = "type", partName = "type") @QueryParam("type")
String type,
            @WebParam(name = "password", partName = "password")
@QueryParam("password") String password) {
