Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

If you click on samples here:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Group+Save

Then go to a JSON one, e.g.:

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

You will see that it needs to look like the request below.  Which it looks 
like you are just missing the wrapper request bean object...  right?  Are you 
saying to augmented the sample and it didn't work?  Or you made the JSON in 
your email by toher means?  Btw, you can just string prepend/append the 
container around the request if you like... :)  Thanks, Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] groupSave using REST web services

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?
