Grouper Developers Forum

["GW Brown, Information Systems and Computing" <>]

If there is time I would like to start a discussion about data validation. 
It is relevant to base groups / stems since a site may want to apply its 
own business rules as to valid names, but becomes more important with 
custom groups where complex rules may apply to combinations of attribute 
values.

Where do we put hooks to allow site specific validation?
When creating a group should we have a signature:

create(GrouperSession s, java.lang.String stem, java.lang.String extension, 
java.lang.String type, List attributes)

so that all the information can be taken into account?
