Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Daniel Patrick Sullivan <>]

Hi, grouper-users,

I actually figured this out.  I used the "typeNames" element that is
shown on the HTTP request sample at the following URL:

http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/viewvc/viewvc.py/i2mi/trunk/grouper-ws/grouper-ws/doc/samples/groupSave/WsSampleGroupDetailSaveRest_withDetail_xml.txt?revision=8189&view=co

I tested this and I was able to set the type with the groupSave
method.  I apologize for the newbie question, I am still new to API
programming.
