Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

There is a bug in the axis version we have (not sure if it is fixed in latest 
or not) where if you aren't sending a param, that you need to send the empty 
string, or else the params will be marshaled in the wrong order.

See this example:

http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/i2mi/trunk/grouper-ws/grouper-ws/doc/samples/assignAttributesWithValue/WsSampleAssignAttributesWithValueLite_soap.txt?revision=6995&view=co

I forget if grouperLoader works with the new attribute framework, which is 
what this service is for... hmm

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Setting attributes via soap client

I'm trying to set some attributes on a group on which I've added the 
grouperLoader type. For example, I'm trying to set the grouperLoaderDbName 
attribute to "grouper". I'm using the assignAttributesLite method, but I get 
an error of "Cannot find (or not allowed to find) attribute def name with 
name: 'grouperLoaderDbName'". 

The details are below. The userid that I am using is in the wheel group, and 
my other soap calls work (creating a list, adding the grouperLoader type, 
etc.). Have I set up the request correctly? Any pointers would be much 
appreciated! 

Rob
