Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

OK, this is now fixed.  Please get the latest grouper WS and client, and try 
it.

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-318

The issue was with the content type in the HTTP reader response from web 
service.
I think SOAP was not a problem since Axis sets the content type to UTF-8.
In rest, the content type is based on which format of message (e.g. xml, 
json, etc).
So there is a new config param in grouper-ws.properties:

# will add the charset to the content type, blank to omit
ws.restHttpContentTypeCharset = UTF-8

This will append a charset to the content type used due to message type.

Also, in the client, the charset in config now defaults to UTF-8, and it is 
used to parse the web service responses.

Now it seems to work

 pennGroupsClient-1.4.2]$ java -jar grouperClient.jar --operation=findStemsWs 
--stemQueryFilterType=FIND_BY_STEM_NAME --stemName=aStem:newStemä
