If you are looking to upload file content this can be done with the
new stuff in soap or rest. This stuff is very easy to backport to
2.9.x, for an example of that see our branch here:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/msub/rsmart.com/webservices/branches/2.9.4.x/
What is in trunk is here:
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/webservices/trunk/cxf/src/java/org/sakaiproject/webservices/ContentHosting.java
the method signature for adding new content items with all the
annotations follows:
@WebMethod
@Path("/createContentItem")
@Produces("text/plain")
@GET
public String createContentItem(
@WebParam(name = "sessionid", partName = "sessionid")
@QueryParam("sessionid") String sessionid,
@WebParam(name = "name", partName = "name")
@QueryParam("name") String name,
@WebParam(name = "collectionId", partName =
"collectionId") @QueryParam("collectionId") String collectionId,
@WebParam(name = "contentMime", partName = "contentMime")
@QueryParam("contentMime") String contentMime,
@WebParam(name = "description", partName = "description")
@QueryParam("description") String description,
@WebParam(name = "type", partName = "type")
@QueryParam("type") String type,
@WebParam(name = "binary", partName = "binary")
@QueryParam("binary") boolean binary)
