Yes, we have been upgrading from Grouper 1.2.1 to 2.3.0 (plus patches) and 
converting our code as necessary. We have defined our attributes using the 
new mechanism.

Thank you - this works perfectly.

It might be nice if the JavaDocs were updated to indicate that 
GroupAttributeFilter only works for legacy attributes, and point developers 
at GroupFinder instead.

Are you saying your code used to work and no longer does?  Did you have your 
attributes as the old (legacy) types of attribute, and now they are not?  In 
any case, if these aren’t legacy attributes, then you should use something 
like this code:

GrouperSession gs = <get session>
Set<Group> groups = new 
GroupFinder().assignNameOfAttributeDefName("bath:provisionClass").assignAttributeValue("groupmanager-groups")
        
.assignPrivileges(AccessPrivilege.ATTRIBUTE_READ_PRIVILEGES).findGroups();

Note, if you are an admin user, you don’t need the READ privs part...  if 
this doesn’t work, let me know what you need as far as privs and I can make 
an example and verify it before sending it 😊

Thanks
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Question about GroupAttributeFilter

We are attempting to use GroupAttributeFilter to find groups having a 
particular attribute value. The code looks like this:

GrouperSession gs = <get session>
GroupAttributeFilter gaf = new GroupAttributeFilter(
     "bath:provisionClass", "groupmanager-groups",
     StemFinder.findRootStem(gs));
Set<Group> ggroups = gaf.getResults(gs);

No results are returned. This appears to be because in 
Hib3GropDAO.findAllByApproximateAttrHelper the following code...

String attributePrefix = legacyAttributeStemName + ":" + 
legacyAttributePrefix; if (attr.startsWith(attributePrefix)) {
     byHql.setString("attributeName",  attr); } else {
     byHql.setString("attributeName",  attributePrefix + attr); }

...is actually setting the name of the attribute being examined
to:

etc:legacy:attribute:legacyAttribute_bath:provisionClass

Are we missing something, or is there a bug here?

We are using version 2.3.0 of the grouper Maven artifact, but this code seems 
unchanged in the latest updates to GitHub.

Thanks.
