Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Peter DiCamillo <>]

I recently wrote about updating our custom changelog consumer to handle 
events for changes to attribute values. While working on that I've run 
into another problem. When I get a deleteAttributeAssignValue event, I 
need to be able to determine the group the event is for. The event 
provides its  attributeAssign, which would normally allow determining 
the group. However, for a deletion, the attributeAssign no longer exists 
at the time the event is processed. In every case I've seen the 
attributeAssign is deleted after the value is deleted.

A solution that occurred to me is if the deleteAttributeAssignValue 
event could include the uuid for the group (or generalized object) that 
the deletion applies to. I'd want that to work for legacy attributes 
that are assigned indirectly to a group, and for "new" attributes that 
have been assigned either directly or indirectly to a group. Is that 
possibility, or maybe there's already some other solution?
