I would start it and end it in the processChangeLogEntries method, but in any other methods that your code calls, just get the staticGrouperSession().  Ok?  J

 

Thanks,

Chris

Thanks for responding Chris.

So within the ChangeLogConsumer, it is safe to call GrouperSession.staticGrouperSession() directly anytime I need a GrouperSession, and I don't need a to call .startRootSession in the constructor or processChangeLogEntries method (and stopping the session as it exits).

Thanks for clarifying,
John

I wouldn’t share a grouper session among threads.  Its lightweight, just create one when doing work.  It already is a threadlocal after you create it, don’t have to pass it around:

 

GrouperSession grouperSession =  GrouperSession.staticGrouperSession();

 

Thanks,

Chris

Is the session threadsafe? You might want to use a ThreadLocal, if you choose the session to be a member field.

Just start one, and close in a finally block

 

    GrouperSession grouperSession = null;

   

    try {

     

      grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();

     

      //do work

     

    } finally {

      GrouperSession.stopQuietly(grouperSession);

    }

 

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hi all,

With regards to Grouper 2.2, what is the proper way to get the Grouper Session for use in a Change Log Consumer? What is more proper?  Doing a startRootSession() & close it upon every invocation of processChangeLogEntries(), or would one do something like private static GrouperSession gs & init that just once? If there is a third, better option that insight would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
John
