Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Gettes, Michael" <>]

Hi all,

I am on grouper 2.3 api 108 (as made available by the TIER packaging folks).  
I am writing some code to see if a group was created by a loader job and if 
so, get the loader job information.  I’ve been poking about to figure out the 
best way to do it and I found the simple snippet below I am using and all I 
ever get is null.  I have tried other example code and I get exceptions 
trying to retrieve even when I know the group as the right loader related 
attribute based on the web UI.  Any advice appreciated.  I hope and expected 
I am doing something stupid.

/mrg

Group = a valid group object of a group I know has the attribute specified 
which is the Uuid of the group having the Loader spec.
It’s loaderNode that always comes back with null

   try {
           String loaderNode = 
group.getAttributeValueDelegate().retrieveValuesString("etc:attribute:loaderMetadata:grouperLoaderMetadataGroupId")
           print("LOADER: “+group+" -> "+loaderNode+"\n")
           if (loaderNode) loaderGroup = GroupFinder.findByUuid( session, 
loaderNode )
           else return
   }
        catch (Exception e) {
                print("\tLOADERFAIL: “+ group.getName()+" -> "+e+"\n")
                return
        }
… And more code here when we get the loaderGroup
