Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Erik Froese <>]

Hey all,

I'm trying to create a group using the REST WS and a JSON request.

I stole a lot of the code from the example:
http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/i2mi/trunk/grouper-ws/grouper-ws/src/test/edu/internet2/middleware/grouper/ws/samples/rest/group/WsSampleGroupSaveRest.java?revision=5539&view=co

I'm just adding 1 group to the request, serializing it as a JSON
String, and sending it off. Apparently grouper isn't liking what I'm
doing.

 // Fill out the group save request beans
WsRestGroupSaveRequest groupSave = new WsRestGroupSaveRequest();
WsGroupToSave wsGroupToSave = new WsGroupToSave();
wsGroupToSave.setWsGroupLookup(new WsGroupLookup(fullGrouperName, null));
WsGroup wsGroup = new WsGroup();
wsGroup.setDescription("Created by Sakai3");
wsGroup.setDisplayExtension(grouperName);
wsGroup.setExtension(grouperName);
wsGroup.setName(fullGrouperName);
wsGroupToSave.setWsGroup(wsGroup);
groupSave.setWsGroupToSaves(new WsGroupToSave[]{ wsGroupToSave });

The JSON request looks like this:
{"wsGroupToSaves":[{"wsGroup":{"description":"Created by
Sakai3","displayExtension":"test12","extension":"test12","name":"nyu:apps:atlas:test12"},"wsGroupLookup":{"groupName":"nyu:apps:atlas:test12"}}]}.

And I'm getting an error on the WS server that indicates it found an
invalid request type.

This indicates that WsGroupsToSaves is not present in the
conversionMap that maps request type names to beans for
de-serialization.

Indeed edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.ws.rest.WsRestClassLookup
doens't seem to have a match for wsGroupToSaves.

Any pointers as to how to make this read wsGroupToSave instead of
wsGroupToSaves? Is that necessary?
