[QTI] Java API / Implementation for QTI

[Dalibor Janča]

Hello Steve,

Thanks for all the related info. I've been already told about the R2Q2
project by Dr. Gary Wills (thanks for that Gary) but didn't have much
time to check the displayed source code yet. Though, according to the
project's overview it could hold what I was looking for.

To make things more clear, I was looking for something simple to use
in a Google Gadget I would like to write as a part of my bachelor
thesis. It should read the contents of a given XML-QTI file and pass
it to the gadget's UI where it's further being worked with. Nothing
really complex. I just didn't want to be "inventing a wheel over
again", hence me posting here.

Anyway, your response is much appreciated. I will check both R2Q2's
and Graham's source code (when it's there) and see if I could possibly
make use of it - with the author's permission of course.

Best regards

Dalibor
