If you used the grouper java API (non WS) which is what the Grouper UI does, 
there is more flexibility on the types of queries and the speed of 
processing.  If it is a simple UI, use WS.  If there are gaps in 
functionality, and you cant do it, then use the API.  Ok?

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-dev] custom Grouper UI development

Hello,

Suppose one was developing a "custom UI" for Grouper. One
obvious architecture is to have the UI invoke Grouper web
services (WS).

If the custom UI itself will be built using Java, is there a
Grouper Java API that one should use instead? What would be
the benefits and tradeoffs of developing against the Java API
instead of against the WS?

Thanks,

Scott K
