• Closed as program error.

Error description

• The REST API call employs a group member cache to access the
  members of a group. The cache does not always reflect the
  members of the subgroups contained in the group requested.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• Users of subgroups of a group are not reflected in response to
  REST API call for group members
  
  PROBLEM DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
  The REST API call employs a group member cache to access the
  members of a group. When used in its default mode, the cache
  loads members from both WAS user registry and the BPM DB. In
  this case, the cache does not always reflect the members of the
  subgroups contained in the group requested.
  

Problem conclusion

• The cache load mechanism was changed to check the subgroups of a
  group for being outdated. If they are outdated the cache entry
  for the whole group is refreshed, so that subgroup changes are
  correctly reflected.
