That’s weird… cant think of why this wouldn’t still work, hooks should work the same.  Can you tell me what type of DB you have and send me the hook code as well, and the configuration you use in the grouper.properties so I can try it out?

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [grouper-dev] Unique group extension

 

Hello again,

Some time ago I asked about having unique group extension. Chris replied with a very helpful group hook and all was working fine with Grouper 2.0.1. Since then I installed Grouper 2.1 and the hook doesn’t work anymore. I suspect it’s because of the hibernate update, but wanted to confirm the behaviour first before doing a new hook.

 

Basically, the hook executed this query ["select count(g) from Group as g where g.extensionDb = :theExtension"] and checked if it returned anything [if count>0 throw exception]

 

It worked before the update, but now it always fails, even with a fresh database. I checked the database and GROUPER_GROUPS contains only one entry for the sysadmingroup.

 

To check what was returned, I added the output of this query in the error message : "select g from Group as g where g.extensionDb = :theExtension".

 

I tried to add the group with the ID “UdeM:test” I got this as the query content : name=UdeM:test,uuid=22c78379869e43e28a88f4e54826bafb. I rechecked the database and there is still only one group.

 

Any lead on what might cause this ? Does the hooks work differently ? Does it do a temporary add in the groups before the save in the database ?

 

Thank you
