Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Mailvaganam, Hari" <>]

Hi Chris and Mail-list:

I am exploring the Java generated WS client that Matt started out with (very 
helpful).

Can anyone help-out with description of field names listed below (from class: 
WsSampleHasMemberLite)? My apologies if the information is available online - 
goggled without a hit.


1) auth.setUsername  - user name for the Grouper Web Services client (is 
there any special privileges to grant to the account in the Grouper System? 
Using an entity type 'application' account)

2) auth.setPassword - password for above account

3) setActAsSubjectId - ?

4) setActAsSubjectIdentifier - ?

5) setActAsSubjectSourceId - ?

6) setClientVersion - the version of the Grouper Web Services client; e.g. 
v1_3_001

7) setGroupName - the group name that the membership look-up is being 
performed (obtained from the grouper system)

8) setGroupUuid - the group UUID that the membership look-up is being 
performed (obtained from the grouper system); can membership look-up be 
performed if only 'setGroupUuid' is filled and not 'setGroupName'?

9) setSubjectId - ID of the member?

10) setSubjectIdentifier - ?

11) setSubjectSourceId - ?

Thanks!

Regards,
 
Hari

Hari is right.  Here is an example of getting the result code from the object 
model:

            System.out.println("Result code: " + 
wsHasMemberResults.getResultMetadata().getResultCode());
            System.out.println("Result message: " + 
wsHasMemberResults.getResultMetadata().getResultMessage());

You can look around in those objects to find what you need.  The objects 
correspond to the XML.  E.g. here:

http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/i2mi/trunk/grouper-ws/grouper-ws/doc/samples/hasMember/WsSampleHasMember_soap.txt?revision=6127&view=co

If your web services server is running SSL, then you cannot run the eclipse 
tcp/ip monitor.  If your server is not SSL, then you can run the eclipse TCP 
monitor.  Just set a local port not in use, monitor the server name and port, 
and change the Grouper client to connect to the local port instead of remote. 
 Once you get that working, you can take a request or response, copy and 
paste into temp.xml in eclipse (some file with xml extension), right click on 
the contents and do source->format.  Then you will see what is going back and 
forth.

Btw, if you are coding from Java I think the grouperClient (with Rest) is the 
easiest way to go...

Good luck!
Chris

Hi Matt:

I have not previously experimented with the Grouper WS java generated classes 
you are using; having said that, I believe you need to parse the SOAP object 
(the output forwarded is probably a string representation of the object).

Hari

Hi Chris:

Thank you for your email.

>>>Are you using the java generated soap client classes?
Yes I am (I recognize your name from the code, I am honored)

>>>Are you just printing out the objects with toString()?
Yes - I was using the example code - the output is coming from:
System.out.println(ToStringBuilder.reflectionToString(wsHasMemberLiteResult));
 is there something else I should do?

>>>Can you run a tcp monitor (like the one built in to eclipse)
I could not get Eclipse TCP/IP monitor to work - not sure if it because the 
Grouper is on a remote Linux server and the Web Services client is on my PC.

Cheers,

Matt

Are you just printing out the objects with toString()?  It might not be 
printing all fields, though the data might be there.

Can you run a tcp monitor (like the one built in to eclipse) and capture the 
XML going back and forth (or the grouper client does this if you set 
-debug=true, though that is Rest)

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Query on Response From Web Services Call

Hello,

I have successfully installed Grouper 1.5 on a Lnux box - I have populated 
with sample members/groups.

I am trying to test the Web Services call - I downloaded the sample and 
started with WsSampleHasMemberLite.

Running the WsSampleHasMemberLite class returned the output listed below.

I was expecting the 'Response Code' given in the documentation - I'm not too 
sure what to make out of the output below. Can anyone help give me a prod in 
the correct direction?

edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.webservicesClient.GrouperServiceStub$WsHasMemberLiteResult@186c6b2[localResponseMetadata=
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.webservicesClient.GrouperServiceStub$WsResponseMeta@1bca5f1,localResponseMetadataTracker=true,
localResultMetadata=edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.webservicesClient.GrouperServiceStub$WsResultMeta@329f3d,
localResultMetadataTracker=true,localResults={<null>},localResultsTracker=true,localSubjectAttributeNames{<null>},
localSubjectAttributeNamesTracker=true,localWsGroup=<null>,localWsGroupTracker=true,localWsSubject=<null>,localWsSubjectTracker=true]


Cheers,

Matt
