Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I added and tested these methods in 2.1.1

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-766

You can call these without a grouper session open, it will find the subject 
as root.:

The optional boolean is if you want this grouper session added to the grouper 
session thread local.  Generally the answer will be yes, which is the default 
if it is not specified.  These return the GrouperSession object.  If the 
sourceId is null it will search all sources.

GrouperSession.startBySubjectIdAndSource(subjectId, sourceId)
GrouperSession.startBySubjectIdAndSource(subjectId, sourceId, boolean)
GrouperSession.startBySubjectIdentifierAndSource(subjectIdentifier, sourceId)
GrouperSession.startBySubjectIdentifierAndSource(subjectIdentifier, sourceId, 
boolean)


Thanks,
chris

Instead of

 GrouperSession.start();

try

 GrouperSession.startRootSession();
