Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Thomas M Goerger <>]

Yesterday, we were getting an error of

2008-09-16 15:34:50,309:
[edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.internal.dao.hib3.Hib3MemberDAO] could
not insert:
[edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.internal.dao.hib3.Hib3GroupDAO]

Today, that error is not to be seen, for some reason.  It doesn't appear
that the sources.xml is the problem, since Grouper can list all the
group members and memberships just fine.  Just does not want to add Groups
or Stems for some reason.  We did try rebooting the tomcat server to
commit the deletion of a whitespace character in the password field of the
hibernate properties file that I thought might be causing the problem.
Didn't fix anything, unfortunately.
