[Building Sakai] siteGroups not returned in Entity Broker Site:group

[Geng, Kelly]

I just upgraded EB to 1.4.x, but I still don't see the group information in the response. This is the URL I used:

http://localhost:8080/direct/site/84547c93-069f-421f-a735-8f348fd7c07b/includeGroups/true

Is this the right one to call?

Thanks!

Kelly

I don't see any URL there which looks like this one:
/direct/site/{siteid}/site/group

The GET method looks like this:
/direct/site/siteid/group/groupid

The current version of EB site provider has this functionality:
Show Entity URL: GET /site/:ID: (xml) (json) (html) (form) Response Code Details: 200 plus data; 404 if not found, 406 if format unavailable Allows viewing of data from a single site, use 'includeGroups'
(boolean) to also get the groups data with the site

It looks like you have an older version which does not. You would need to upgrade EB to a newer version or at least update the site entity provider.
