The attached jar (in the zip) should do the trick

 

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1147

 

Note, I will put that in a patch at some point, or in a future release, at that time you should delete the jar.  If you want to just wait for a patch that’s fine too, let me know

 

Thanks,

Chris

This looks more complex then I thought.  I would very much appreciate complete hook if offer still stands.

 

Thanks,

Rahul

Theres two ways to query.  Might be best for performance to find the parent stem and look for extensions in that stem

 

    String parentFolderName = GrouperUtil.parentStemNameFromName(someName);

   

    Stem parentStem = StemFinder.findByName(grouperSession, parentFolderName, true);

   

    Group group = HibernateSession.byHqlStatic()

        .createQuery("select theGroup from Group theGroup "

            + "where lower(theGroup.extensionDb) = :theExtension "

            + "and theGroup.parentUuid = :stemUuid")

        .setString("theExtension", StringUtils.defaultString(GrouperUtil.extensionFromName(someName)).toLowerCase())

        .setString("stemUuid", parentStem.getId())

        .uniqueResult(Group.class);

 

 

 

Otherwise you can just do a case insensitive search for that full path.  If you have performance problems you might need a function based index on lower name

 

    Group group = HibernateSession.byHqlStatic()

        .createQuery("select theGroup from Group theGroup where lower(theGroup.nameDb) = :theName")

        .setString("theName", StringUtils.defaultString(someName).toLowerCase()).uniqueResult(Group.class);

Folders are ok.  I will take a look at hooks.example and will let you know if I am stuck.

 

Thanks,

You would need a hook to veto conflicts.  There are examples in the hooks.examples package or I could write one for you if you like, let me know.  Do you want it to also not allow folders with a group name too (theres an example of that in there but its not case insensitive)?

 

Thanks,

Chris

Hello,

 

We are moving from case insensitive to case sensitive database and one thing we need to do as part of it is put a validation to avoid creating duplicate group names.  For example users should not be able to create group Apps:TEST and Apps:test.   Any suggestions on best way to implement this?

 

Thanks,

Rahul
