[Bodington-developers] Timed Resources now in!

[Alexis O'C. <ale...@co...>]

I have finished merging in Antony Corfield's timed resources 
functionality into bodington HEAD. This has been running successfully in 
WebLearn since December 2003. Apart from minor tidying up / refactoring 
and javadoc additions, this has been committed as-is.

Use:

Once you have created a resource, you will find 'Set Release Date' 
betwixt the 'Modify' and 'Grant access' options on the resource 
management page. If a time constraint has been set on a resource, the 
owner / sysadmin can always see it, but will also see what the 
time-constraint actually is. A time contraint consists of a 'from' and / 
or 'to' timestamp.

Developers:

This requires a change in the database schema, so you will need to run 
SetupServlet (or hand-code the ALTER statements yourself!). See ...

src/org/bodington/server/resources/Resource.sql

... for details.
