Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I did code this, but didn’t quite get the configuration committed... luckily 
it is a quick change in the config file and it should work (works for me).

I believe the way to do this (Gary correct me if wrong) is in the 
web.core.xml add a filter with the other filters:

<filter>
    <filter-name>GrouperUi</filter-name>
    
<filter-class>edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.ui.GrouperUiFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

Then at the top of the filter mappings add a couple of mappings (the jsp one 
probably isn’t necessary, but it wont hurt):

  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>GrouperUi</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>
  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>GrouperUi</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>


Then do a build, and you should see these settings in your web.xml.  Then run 
the hook, and the hook type will be GROUPER_UI enum...

I just committed this web.core.xml to 1.4 branch so once it propagates (a 
couple of hours), everyone can benefit.

Regards,
Chris
