Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Rob Urquhart <>]

Hi Chris. Thanks for your response.
I did see that in the documentation and I am specifying all the "unused" 
params as empty strings. The soap request that gets generated looks right to 
me. (See attached).
However, I think the problem may be that my db didn't get set up properly. 
The Hib3AttributeDefNameDAO.findByNameSecure method which throws the 
AttributeDefNotFoundException is doing a search on the AttributeDefName 
entity, but the grouper_attribute_def_name table is empty. Oddly, this 
doesn't affect adding attributes via gsh. For example, 
setGroupAttr("robert:testGroup1","grouperLoaderDbName", "grouper") works 
fine. 
Do I need to rerun the db setup?

Rob
