Chris,

Thanks a lot! It did work with Get Groups Service but not with the Get Groups Lite Service. I should have mentioned this.  And Get Groups service does suit what I’m working on better than the Lite service.

 

To give a summary of what I’m working on right now, we have a hierarchical list of organizations where a member of the child group will be a member of the parent group and so on all the way to the root group. To implement this, we plan on adding the overall group of the child group as a member of the parent’s includes group. And when we use the Get Groups web service for a subject from our application, it would return all the groups it belongs to. The application would then filter all the composite groups and display only the overall groups.

 

But for our future needs, we will be needing a hierarchical view of all groups like breadcrumbs. Right now, we have two approaches. The first is the create new views in the grouper database and access them to create the breadcrumbs/tree structure. And the second one, which is a little messier, is to use the get Groups Web service to get a list of all groups first, and then to use several Get Members web service requests on the groups to figure out the hierarchy.

 

Are there any better ways that you would recommend to use the grouper architecture or web services to determine the hierarchy of groups in grouper?

 

Best,
Swaroop

No sorry, all groups even composites will be included.

 

Paging works for me in 2.3 (See below).  Any chance you can upgrade or are you doing something different?

 

Thanks

Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Excluding include/exclude groups in Get Groups WS API

 

Hi,

I’m making a post call using the getGroups API & WsRestGetGroupsLiteRequest object to get list of a groups a subject belongs too.

 

I have been able to filter up to stem level by using the ‘scope’ parameter. But the results include all the includes, excludes, baseAndIncludes groups. Is there a way to further filter and get only the overall group?

 

Also, even when I include pageNumber & pageSize, the pagination doesn’t seem to be working. Do I need to set any other variables?

Grouper version: 2.2.0

 

Best,
Swaroop
