Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Black, Carey M." <>]

Reid,

Before someone else asks... How did you install grouper? 

Via the grouperInstaller.jar or using a docker container?

If grouperInstaller.jar
        Did you install the SCIM server extension? ( I am guessing no. But I 
have no knowledge that it would fix your error either. But maybe...)
        Did you install the ESB extension? ( I am also guessing no. But I 
have no knowledge that it would fix your error either. But maybe...)

If using a Docker container:
        Which patch level are you using?





FWIW: (not exactly what you're looking for...)

I have managed to get the core grouper Messaging to work without those 
extensions. 
But found that the AWS SNS integration code nowhere to be found in my 
install. ( I also had "missing classes" when I tried the esb.publisher that 
was in my install. I don't remember what class it complained about at the 
moment. Though I do not have SCIM server extension installed. Maybe that was 
my error? )

I did get the AWS SQS integration working after installing the ESB extension 
and fumbling with the configuration for a few days. ( Ugh. )
        I resorted to using the .aws/config file to set the  [default] 
region=<value> setting. ( Sigh )
        Then I finally got a "bad password" error ( finally something kind of 
worked)... ( Using capital "oh"'s and Zero's in a password is not a good idea 
when a human needs to type them. Always. <-- fail )
        Then I had miss read the code and thought the ".queueOrTopicName" 
value needed to be the URL for the queue.
                It only needs to be the name of the Queue for SQS. The 
authenticated AWS session looks up the URL for the queue. DOH!  
                I was getting an "unknown queue" error... "But the config 
value looked 'right' to me". ( Sigh. A forehead flattener for sure. Really 
self-inflicted, so don’t do that. :) )
        Finally the messages were sent.
        Lastly.. I had to enhance the ChangeLogConsumerToMessage.java to 
support "obvious" features like ( I mostly "copied/altered" from the 
src.esb.edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.changeLog.esb.consumer.EsbConsumer 
code into my change log consumer) :
                Filter the event sent ( It was sending all of them.)
                Support adding Subject attributes. ( It did not have that 
feature.)
                Filter the attributes sent ( it was sending all of them.)

                Now that I am writing this I really should have also added a 
setting for the AWS region and figured out how to add that to the AWS auth 
process.... ( Feature enhancement! )

Sigh, another custom Change Log consumer.



Oh and if you are being told to install anything that is jetty-6.1. You 
should likely just run away. 
It looks like jetty 6 was deprecated/end of life in 2010.( About a decade 
ago.)  9.2 was EOL'ed Jan 2018. ( Yikes! ) 
        Jetty 9.3 or 9.4 are listed as "stable". 
        
And I have no idea why a "Jetty" jars would be needed. 
Are you using Tomcat? ( as most default grouper installs would use? ) 

Maybe the SCIM server was only designed to run in a JETTY server?! Or needs 
some libs that Tomcat did/does(?) not have?!

Subject: [grouper-users] Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
org.mortbay.jetty.HttpException - Missing jetty-6.1.26.jar

Hi Everyone, 

Very quick question about “jetty-6.1.*.jar”, when installing Grouper 2.4.0. 
(Default install) we noticed certain jar’s a missing from a specific path 
“grouper.apiBinary-2.4.0/lib/grouper”, investigating further we found the 
jar’s are located within

grouper.ws-2.4.0/grouper-ws-scim/targetBuiltin/grouper-ws-scim/WEB-INF/lib/jetty-6.1.26.jar
grouper.ws-2.4.0/grouper-ws-scim/targetBuiltin/grouper-ws-scim/WEB-INF/lib/jetty-util-6.1.26.jar

Were currently attempting to run “EsbHttpPublisher / EsbConsumer” by setting 
the following fields within “grouper-loader.properties" 

changeLog.consumer.esb.class = 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.changeLog.esb.consumer.EsbConsumer
changeLog.consumer.esb.publisher.class = 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.changeLog.esb.consumer.EsbHttpPublisher

From the API logs we receive the following error message 

Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/mortbay/jetty/HttpException
        at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
        at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:186)
        at 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.util.GrouperUtil.forName(GrouperUtil.java:1590)
        ... 26 more
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.mortbay.jetty.HttpException

When checking “/grouper.apiBinary-2.4.0/lib/grouper/“ the jar’s are missing, 
reading an old thread from 2013 
“https://lists.internet2.edu/sympa/arc/grouper-users/2013-06/msg00083.html” 
an engineer stated the following comment 

“I assume I am missing some jar file in the api/lib/grouper directory? I 
didn’t see anything about this in the wiki."

I would prefer someone from the grouper community review before I create a 
Jira ticket 

Cheers

Reid
