Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Richard James <>]

Hi All,

First of all just want to say great work on the latest version of Grouper, we 
are looking forward to rolling out some of the new features.

We've came across a minor issue which we are trying to work out the cause 
for. We have successfully deployed Grouper 1.6 in a test environment, and 
have been testing out the web services in particular the groupSaveLite web 
service. When we come to create a new group with the attached SOAP request, 
the result code states that the GROUP_ALREADY_EXISTS. Before calling the web 
service we made sure that a group with the same name did not exist. I'm not 
sure if it is trying to action the insert twice or if the result code is just 
being interpreted incorrectly. Just as a follow up test I deployed the 
grouper client on another machine, and invoked the method from there, it 
successfully created the new group and returned a correct result code. 

A similar behaviour exists when trying to update groups details, for example 
if we try to update the description for a newly created group, it returns 
SUCCESS_NO_CHANGES_NEEDED, even though it does update the description. 

I'm not sure if this is a problem with our setup or if it's something within 
the code which is misinterpreting the result codes. 

This is just a minor issue but thought I'd best put it out there.

I've attached the SOAP requests and return results for the insert and updates 
just for reference.

Regards
