[Using Sakai] Reg : Adding users in Sakai using External web-form

[Steve Swinsburg]

Have your form post to a script that uses the web services to provision an
account.

Or to a servlet that has the Sakai API's injected and use the API directly.

Never write SQL to touch the database directly.

Cheers
Steve
