Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

There is no plan for that.  We do have plans to discuss exposing some Grouper 
web service operations to search and potentially manage subjects...

Anyways, for having a builtin subject source which uses web services, it 
sounds like it would be difficult to make that generic.  Each web service 
subject source might have a much different API.  I would just make your own 
subject source which implements edu.internet2.middleware.subject.Source and 
acts as a web service client.  If you need help coding this, let me know.  If 
we find out it is generic and useful to people, we can add it in.

Regards,
Chris
