Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["GW Brown, Information Systems and Computing" <>]

As we only give the 'identifier' for a subject on the command line, the 
XmlImport tool has to iterate across all Subject Sources to find the 
appropriate subject. The Grouper API uses 'SubjectFinder.findByIdentifier', 
which expects to find a unique subject. It should throw exceptions if 0 or 
> 1 results are found.

The JNDISourceAdapter catches NamingExceptions and logs an error but 
program execution should continue as the exceptions are not propagated i.e. 
although there is an error in the log, I would expect that GrouperSystem is 
in fact resolved by the internal GrouperSourceAdapter and so is probably a 
red herring.
