Chris,

Should the grouper DataConnectors for shibboleth use
GrouperSession.staticGrouperSession() ? (No)

Instead, they should call GrouperSession.start(Subject) and then store
the GrouperSession as a class variable ? (Yes)

It's OK for the stored GrouperSession class variable to be long-lived ? (Yes)

Or should I start a new session every time I query Grouper for data ? (No)

I started using GrouperSession.staticGrouperSession(), but then
realized that this would use any grouper session stored in the jvm,
which wasn't what I wanted, since the subjectId used to start the
session needs to be configurable.

Thanks!
TomZ
