[Building Sakai] LTI tools and webservices

[Charles Severance]

That is pretty specific.  

There is no "general purpose" way to do what you say that I know of.  It would seem to me that like many of the batch admin tasks the right way to go is write a special web service under CXF that does the look up and altering and return of exactly the information you need.

Using /direct you can pretty consistently see a lot of information across tools and services - but in terms of LTI so far there has not been an extensive effort to allow modification via /direct

Actual webservices says that the tool is a webcontainer... but no more info about what is inside that webcontainer. I'd like to know the Launch URL of the LTI tool and the configuration parameters to be sure that tools is the one I want to install or not.
