Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Colin Hudler <>]

Hi,

I was just wondering, when using retrieveSubjectDetail=F, why does it 
still retrieve the attributes specified in 
"ws.subject.result.attribute.names" of grouper-ws.properties.

Specifically I am wondering why this property overrides the client 
request to not include details.  I suspect it is a semantic difference. 
 Details could be those attributes other than the subjectId (a mistaken 
assumption), or the reality in the code; that details are only those 
things specified by "ws.subject.result.detail.attribute.names".

I confirmed this in
util/GrouperServiceUtils.java: calculateSubjectAttributes()

On further reflection of the differences, please just consider this 
email a comment on the documentation, so it is not a total loss.

From grouper-ws.properties:
# subject attribute names to send back when a WsSubjectResult is sent, 
comma separated
# e.g. name, netid
# default is none
ws.subject.result.attribute.names =

One must infer that the client cannot request not to receive the 
attributes specified here.
