Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Gettes, Michael" <>]

And, IMHO, with the new subject caching in 2.4.0 latest ehcache tuning is 
less needed for subject related stuff.  Properly config the subject cache 
with the number of subjects and that’s pretty much it.  I do recommend 
defining a different subject cache for each component for large environments. 
 Maybe there is a better way of doing this going forward instead of different 
subject.properties files for UI, WS, and Loader?
