Gary, but shouldn't XmlExporter produce a document that is importable with XmlImporter? Seems like option 3 would support that requirement.

Hi Colin,

The code is 'designed' to fail if you try to set a null value. Whether or not it should do is debatable. The options would be to:

1. Fail as now
2. Log an error but continue importing
3. Delete the current value if one is set

This could be made a configuration option. The only question would be which to choose as a default.

I've added a Jira issue: <https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-81>

Hi,

The error in the subject of this email will occur in
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.XmlImporter when a grouptype has an
empty attribute. Example xml generated by ant xml-export:

<groupTypes>
<groupType name='Provisioner'>
<attribute
name='Destinations'>ou=groups,dc=uchicago,dc=edu</attribute>
<attribute name='Send To'></attribute>
</groupType>

('Send To' has no value)

Sorry, I didn't find exactly which method--if any--causes the error.
