Hi Steve,

I can not comment on the page...

In order to leave comments in the Grouper wiki, a person must belong to the GrouperWG (in Confluence). I have added you so that you should now be able to leave comments. Please let me know if you come across other such limitations in the wiki.

Hth! Cheers, Jessica

Hey,

Per my action items in the last dev call:

1.       I posted the GridGrouper web services API (at least I think this class is the API, if someone wants to correct me, let me know and I can make changes… also I assume I can post this since the source is on a public webpage)

API: https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/download/attachments/18798/GridGrouper.html
Source: https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/download/attachments/18798/GridGrouper.java

2.       I changed the first part of the web services wiki page to have a core operations that we will implements for the first release of web services (per the discussion at the dev call).  Maybe I took this too far, but I listed 4 operations.  Please give feedback (e.g. if you need more, and what the specifics are).

3.       I joined the axis-users list, and I asked how Axis upgrades affect generated XML.  Will let you know the results

Kind regards,

Chris

I can not comment on the page Chris so I'll send them to you via this mechanism.

Under "Proposed Operations":

Configurable Batch limits seems to be a good idea with -1 or 0 being unlimited.  A configurable error message to be returned on batch size violations might also be appropriate.
Batching "isMemberOf" seems strange to me - I can not see many use cases where I want to batch check membership in a group unless I was attempting to build a batch for "unassignMembership".
For a "lite" version, would a member filter on "isMemberOf" even be useful (assuming that "all" would always be the member filter)?
I would like to see something to the effect of "listAllGroupsForSubject" - this would be most beneficial.

I have more thoughts on authorization too and will forward them to you when I have had a change to work through them get them down in writing.
