- Date: Wed, 08 Mar 2006 13:25:12 +0000
I have attached two xml files. Using a new XmlImporter class I loaded import.xml into an empty repository (empty apart from QuickStart subjects). I then used a new class, XmlExporter, to export the entire repository to export1.xml.
The exported data has extra information (most of which can be turned off by setting options appropriately). <internalAttributes> are never imported.
I don't export privileges for GrouperSystem, but I do for GrouperAll.
The format has changed from the QuickStart format to allow for custom fields. I haven't tested yet, but the old format should still work for import.
There are options for specifying whether to export effective members / privilegees - these would be ignored by an import.
displayExtension / description and custom attributes are updated for existing stems / groups. I'll probably make this an option also.
Additional members / privilegees will be added. I intend to define an attribute to specify whether existing lists should be replaced, left alone, or new subjects only added.
You can do a relative export (stem or an individual group). Any export can be loaded at any existing stem - though it is possible a relative export may reference a group which is not exported and does not exist in a repository where the data is loaded. I intend to log missing 'subjects' including groups rather than fail.
Tom has suggested a package:
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.interfaces.xml
for the new classes.
