Getting Groovy with SPML

For those of you interested in Groovy and Identity Manager (thousands of people, right?), here is an example of using Groovy with the OpenSPML toolkit to delete/create a batch of users (for example, you might use this to create a bunch of accounts for students in a lab).

// Sample Groovy script to delete/add a batch of users using the OpenSPML toolkit
// client handle to the spml connection is passed in to us from the caller

import org.openspml.message.*;

numusers = 1 // number of test users to create 

println "Deleting Old Users..." 
for(i in 1..numusers) { deleteUser(i,false) }

println "Adding Users.." 
for(i in 1..numusers) { addUser(i) }

// Add a bulk user 
def addUser(i) {
    req = new AddRequest();
    req.setIdentifier("spmltest${i}");
    req.setObjectClass("userview");
    req.setAttributes( ["password.password":"xyzzy", 
            "global.email":"spmltest@acme.com",
            "global.firstname": "Spml", 
            "global.lastname":"Test${i}", 
            "global.manager":"warren",
            "waveset.roles":["Basic Employee"],
           "waveset.organization":"Top:Employees" ] );
    client.throwErrors(client.request(req))
}

// delete a user .
def deleteUser(i,throwErrors) {
    req = new DeleteRequest();
    req.setIdentifier("spmltest${i}");
    response = client.request(req)
    if(throwErrors) 
        client.throwErrors( res)
}

There is a small piece of Java scaffolding code (not shown) that creates the SPML connection, and then invokes the groovy script. If any one is interested in the code please feel free to get in touch.
