Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

OK, here is how it works:

1. The default attribute names (comma separated) sent back for each request 
are specified in grouper-ws.properties under the key:

ws.subject.result.attribute.names

2. If the caller sets T to retrieve subject detail, then the attributes will 
be appended to that list in grouper-ws.properties key: 
ws.subject.result.detail.attribute.names

3. If the caller specifies subjectAttributeNames (comma separated), then 
those will be appended to the list (independent of the detail attributes).

So there are central settings, and caller settings that you need to design 
for and specify...

Make sense?

Thanks,
Chris
