WS replaceAllExisting behavior

  • Subject: WS replaceAllExisting behavior
  • Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2009 14:03:22 -0600
Greetings,

My question is about this short grouper session, where I set
replaceAllExisting to 'T', and it removes members from my list that were
already in the group, even though they are in the PUT xml.

Please let me know if that is expected behavior. Please see my attached
session, where I hope the problem is made clear.
