Here are some diagrams of how we currently have things set up, and where we might go…

Current set up:

This is how we currently have things working, unfortunately it’s not using IMS Enterprise Services in the communication between modules, it is just returning strings which are IMS Enterprise XML

Option 1 (see posting below):

This is how we would ideally have the system set up, with an Enterprise Server in the centre, with a PHP library handling the interaction between Moodle and Enterprise Server.

Option 2 (see posting below):

This is how we’re most likely to end up, with another java application inbetween Enterprise Server and Moodle. This Enterprise Client would be a client to the enterprise server, but it would be a server in Moodles eyes. We’re still undecided yet as to whether this would have a SOAP or REST interface provided out to Moodle.
