Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Sachdeva, Vivek" <>]

Hi,

Below are the steps I took to setup my development environment.

1. I checked out grouper, grouper-ui, grouper-ws, grouper-ws-java-generated-client, grouper-ws-java-manual-client and grouper-misc. The repository is http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/svn/i2mi/tags/GROUPER_2_1_5 . I use Eclipse. I might have checked out more than I really needed.
2.  Using the grouper installer I setup the database. I did stop after that. I did not go for downloading tomcat, etc.
3. I modified the grouper-loader.properties, grouper-hibernate.properties which are in the grouper/conf folder. I renamed the example files and then I made changes. Ex. grouper.hibernate.example.properties will be grouper.hibernate.properties. 
4. Then I ran the dist target (ant) from the grouper project. Then dist from grouper-ws. This will generate grouper-ws.war file in the build/dist folder. Then I ran war target from grouper-ui. It will generate grouper.war file. I added these two war files in the tomcat's web apps directory.  
5. I also added <role rolename="grouper_user"/>

   <user password="***" roles="grouper_user" username="GrouperSystem"/ > in the tomcat-users.xml file. 

6. Then I started tomcat and hit http://localhost:8080/grouper. It will ask for username and password. Enter the same user name and password as in the tomcat-users.xml file.

There might be better ways to setup the environment but the above one so far is working fine.

Thanks,

Vivek

Subject: [grouper-users] Trying some new things in package edu.internet2.middleware.subject.provider

I'm picking up work on a RESTful SourceAdapter for Grouper from over a year ago. I have a subject source that is accessible via a RESTful API instead of via the more common JDBC, JNDI or LDAP. I believe this means writing a new implementation of the abstract class BaseSourceAdapter which is found in package edu.internet2.middleware.subject.provider.

I have a dev instance of Grouper 2.1.5 to work with, created with the standard Grouper installer.

My initial question is how do I set up a development environment where I can define a new source adapter and get that built into my Grouper instance so I can try it out by searching for people to add as members to a group via the Grouper UI.

 Thanks in advance, --Keith
