Subject: Re: [grouper-dev] Web services prototype done

The attached tar, if extracted in the grouper-ui folder and the UI rebuilt, 
makes available a /grouper/exportXml.do action. This presents a form with 
various options which is effectively an interface onto the current Grouper 
Xml export functionality. Be aware that you could export your whole 
repository - which you probably don't want to do, so experiment in a stem 
with relatively few children first...

I've thought about doing something like this in the past, but I've done it 
now just to (hopefully) help discussions around webservices. The feature is 
REST like, but I'm not particularly advocating we use this approach or the 
resulting format. This feature may be useful when talking about formats, 
range of options, whether there should be a relationship between current Xml 
import/export functionality and webservices, etc.

The underlying XmlExporter class uses the Grouper API, so the responsiveness 
of the new action may reflect what we can expect from other webservice 
approaches - though I haven't done any profiling to see if there is any extra 
overhead due to this approach.
