Blackboard Learn 9.1 Web Services Tutorials and Documentation

Baci - I'd still recommend using proxy. I think its the best approach that allows you to tailor the access for applications using that proxy.

Since your CFC functions will be interacting with the BB web service you should not have any issues with CAS.

If you get CF to interact with the BB web services please be sure to post that. There are several example applications that use Java or C# with BB web services, but nothing I know of that uses CF.

Also depending on what you need to do - it may be simpler to query directly the BB database. Blackboard does support select database queries and now publishes their database schema. If you just need to get information out of Blackboard, we've found querying the Blackboard database much simpler to implement.

Baci - The rampart.mar goes on the same server where the RegisterProxyTool will run. If that's is your local computer then that is where rampart.mar goes.

The CF code to interact with the BB web service, was that ever posted? Just wondering, due to having to begin a similar project here and CF seems to be the code of choice for the development.

I tried running the RegisterProxyToolApp with NetBeans 8, but got the following error message, did I miss anything?

Final Memory: 7M/162M

Hi Bruce,

Your documentation has been very helpful. I know in your latest update for saving/deleting a user, I was able to get that to work as well. What I'm trying to do now is to get a grade and save a grade.

To quickly test this, I took your sample and added another method to get the grades. The majority of the method is identical, meaning setting up the configuration and creating the logintool and login in.

The piece that changes is after confirming that the login is successful.

GradebookWSStub gradebookWSStub = new GradebookWSStub(ctx,
"https://"; + blackboardServerURL + "/webapps/ws/services/Gradebook.WS");

client = gradebookWSStub._getServiceClient();

options = client.getOptions();

options.setProperty(HTTPConstants.HTTP_PROTOCOL_VERSION,
HTTPConstants.HEADER_PROTOCOL_10);

// Next, setup ws-security settings
// Reuse the same callback handler
options.setProperty(WSHandlerConstants.PW_CALLBACK_REF, pwcb);
ofc = new OutflowConfiguration();
ofc.setActionItems("UsernameToken Timestamp");
ofc.setUser("session");

ofc.setPasswordType("PasswordText");
options.setProperty(WSSHandlerConstants.OUTFLOW_SECURITY, ofc
.getProperty());
client.engageModule("rampart");

List<ScoreVO> scores = new ArrayList<ScoreVO>();
GetGrades getGrades = new GetGrades();
ScoreFilter filter = new ScoreFilter();
filter.setUserIds(new String[]{"tjones"});

// 8 is the filter type for user id
filter.setFilterType(8);
GradebookWSStub.GetGradesResponse getGradesResponse = null;

try {
getGradesResponse = gradebookWSStub.getGrades(getGrades);
} catch (RemoteException e) {
LOGGER.error("Error getting grades: " + e.getMessage());
}


for (GradebookWSStub.ScoreVO score : getGradesResponse.get_return()) {
LOGGER.info("Found score: " + score.getId() + " with score: " + score.getGrade());
scores.add(score);
}

The call to getGrades() -> is successful but in my loop below it where I print out the score information, "getGradesResponse.get_return()" is always returning null. The user "tjones" does have graded items.

I was hoping if you could see what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks for your project. I downloaded it, and get compiled in eclipse after I add all jar files that it needs. Finally, I got this error

2015-09-04 16:12:08,819 ERROR edu.ku.it.si.registerproxytool.controller.RegisterToolController.registerProxyToolWithBlackboard:84 - There was an error in registering the tool: Couldn't find repository location '/usr/local/blackboard/config/axis2_client/modules'

Question: this bbws.modulePath is at blackboaord server site or at client site where registerproxytool installed? <a href="https://www.tillmanstory.com/whatsapp/download-wha...;

Thanks,
