> 5. Chris' hierarchical needs

I don't think I have needs, just giving progress update.  I have mentioned 
the three directed graphs in grouper known as *sets: groups as members of 
groups (groupSets), attributes in sets (attributeSets), and "hierarchical" 
roles (roleSets).  Shilen has the groupSets implemented, and I have the 
attributeSets implemented, and tested with a complex setup (probably more 
complex that someone would actually implement).  

I add each relationship in the pic below, and can remove any of the 
relationships, and still have an intact data model.  Now that it is the 
GrouperSet interface (and GrouperSetElement and GrouperSetEnum), I hope to 
add the "hierarchical" roles without much trouble.

Granted, there is a lot of duplication, and copy/paste, but the test case is 
14k lines...

   * complex relationships: ^ means relationship pointing up, v means down -> 
means right
   * e.g. if someone has A, then that someone also effectively has B.  
   * So B is in the attributeSet of A, 
   * as is C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, and L (not K)
   * 
   *          K       G---\ 
   *           \     ^     \
   *            \   /       \
   *             v /         \
   *              C       L   \
   *             ^ \     ^    |
   *            /   \   /     |
   *           /     v /      v
   * A -----> B       E ----> F
   * |\        \     ^       ^
   * | \        \   /       /
   * |  \        v /       /
   * |   \        D       J
   * |    \              ^|
   * |     \            / |
   * v      v          /  |
   * H----> I --------/   |
   *  ^                  /
   *   \                /
   *    \--------------/ 
   *     
   *     
   * So the immediate relationships are:
   * A -> B
   * A -> H
   * A -> I
   * B -> C
   * B -> D
   * C -> E
   * C -> G
   * D -> E
   * E -> F
   * E -> L
   * G -> F
   * H -> I
   * I -> J
   * J -> H
   * J -> F
   * K -> C

If anyone cares about the API, here is an example (this.top is a stem):

    AttributeDef attributeDef = this.top.addChildAttributeDef("orgs",
        AttributeDefType.attr);
    AttributeDefName orgA = this.top.addChildAttributeDefName(attributeDef, 
"orgA",
        "orgA");
    AttributeDefName orgB = this.top.addChildAttributeDefName(attributeDef, 
"orgB",
        "orgB");

    // A -> B
    assertTrue(orgA.addToAttributeDefNameSet(orgB));

    attrDefNameSetViewCount = HibernateSession.bySqlStatic().select(
        int.class, "select count(1) from grouper_attr_def_name_set_v");

    assertEquals(initialAttrDefNameSetViewCount + 3, attrDefNameSetViewCount);

    //...snip...
    //test the relationship:

    assertEquals("top:orgA", attributeDefNameSetViews.get(index)
        .getIfHasAttrDefNameName());
    assertEquals("top:orgB", attributeDefNameSetViews.get(index)
        .getThenHasAttrDefNameName());
    assertEquals(1, attributeDefNameSetViews.get(index).getDepth());
    assertEquals(AttributeDefAssignmentType.immediate, 
attributeDefNameSetViews
        .get(index).getType());
    assertEquals("top:orgA", 
attributeDefNameSetViews.get(index).getParentIfHasName());
    assertEquals("top:orgA", 
attributeDefNameSetViews.get(index).getParentThenHasName());
