Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[William R Brown <>]

Thanks for the information Chris.

 

I've started to go down the path of working with the Rest interface for the grouper ws.  I'm throwing out this URL (in a web browser) to our server through the Rest interface via GET and it is sending me back the following for the result:  I'm not sure what is missing from the url but the response says something is null:

 

https://grouper.uchicago.edu/web/servicesRest/v1_4_002/groups/uc%3Aorg%3Ansit%3Awebservices%3Amembers

 

<WsRestResultProblem>
<resultMetadata>
<resultCode>INVALID_QUERY</resultCode>
<resultMessage>
Cant find GrouperWsRestGetGroup from string: 'null', expecting one of: members, ,  uri: /web/servicesRest/v1_4_002/groups/uc:org:nsit:webservices:members, method: GET, decoded url strings: 0: 'v1_4_002', 1: 'groups', 2: 'uc:org:nsit:webservices:members'
</resultMessage>
<success>F</success>
</resultMetadata>
<responseMetadata>
<millis>1</millis>
<serverVersion>v1_4_002</serverVersion>
</responseMetadata>
</WsRestResultProblem>

 

Do you or any others have any information about this error message?  I apologize if this answer is easily remedied from the documentation (I'm looking at more of if now).

 

Thanks again for your help.

Bill

Hey,

 

If you are using SOAP, you need to use the SOAP url and send an XML request in the post body, you cant put the group name in the URL (that I am aware of).  If you are using REST, then you can put the group name in the URL.

 

See these samples:

 

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/GrouperWG/Get+Members

 

Here is a SOAP call:

 

http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/i2mi/trunk/grouper-ws/grouper-ws/doc/samples/getMembers/WsSampleGetMembersLite_soap.txt?view=co

 

Depending on how the service is deployed at your school (I don’t have access to the URL you sent me), you would connect to this URL:

 

https://grouper.uchicago.edu/web/services/GrouperService

 

And send something like this in the HTTP post body:

 

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">

  <soapenv:Body>

    <ns1:getMembersLite xmlns:ns1="http://soap.ws.grouper.middleware.internet2.edu/xsd">

      <ns1:clientVersion>v1_5_000</ns1:clientVersion>

      <ns1:groupName> uc:org:nsit:webservices:members</ns1:groupName>

      <ns1:groupUuid></ns1:groupUuid>

      <ns1:memberFilter>All</ns1:memberFilter>

      <ns1:actAsSubjectId> </ns1:actAsSubjectId>

      <ns1:actAsSubjectSourceId></ns1:actAsSubjectSourceId>

      <ns1:actAsSubjectIdentifier></ns1:actAsSubjectIdentifier>

      <ns1:fieldName></ns1:fieldName>

      <ns1:includeGroupDetail>F</ns1:includeGroupDetail>

      <ns1:includeSubjectDetail>F</ns1:includeSubjectDetail>

    </ns1:getMembersLite>

  </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

 

And it should return the members…

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] request for help with SAOP calls to grouper 1.5

 

Greetings grouper developers:

 

I'm using a grouper client embedded in uPortal 3.1.1.  The client is using the SOAP interface to do calls to the grouper web service but the service is returning errors.  I think the issue may be that I am not formatting the url properly for the query but I can't seem to decode the correct format from the documentation so I want to ask here for help. 

 

The service is running at https://grouper.uchicago.edu/web/services

 

I'm attempting to get the listing of members from a group with id uc:org:nsit:webservices:members

 

I'm constructing the query as show below but am getting the following error

 

https://grouper.uchicago.edu/web/services/groups/uc:org:nsit:webservices:members

 

Response:

"The service cannot be found for the endpoint reference (EPR) /web/services/groups/uc:org:nsit:webservices:members"

 

Does someone here know if the URL format is correct or if I should be querying the SOAP interface in a different way?

 

Thanks for your input and advice
