Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Unfortunately yes, it is the expected behavior, though, if you let me know 
the version of Grouper and more details about the calls you are making, we 
could discuss clearing relevant caches if group updates occur...  if you are 
connecting to the same web services server, it will work with your use case.  
If you do load balancing, and hit a different server in a cluster, then it 
wont work until we redo how caching works.

Thanks!
Chris

We will try tweaking the (3) options that you suggested and report back
on this list.

Just to be sure: this is expected behaviour under the current caching
implementation, right?

Thanks,

Hans.

BTW: we use the Grouper 1.5.0 release
