Re: [gatein-dev] Adding new field displayName for User

I've added https://issues.jboss.org/browse/EXOJCR-1780 for GateIn trunk, that will requires perhaps minor UI modification to add the new field that is not computed anymore. as for the 3.2 release, the work should be done in a branch and merged later (or the work can start after 3.2 release). I will do it after GateIn 3.2 release. In GateIn we can also fork class UserImpl into portal codebase (into artifact exo.portal.component.identity, which is defacto Picketlink IDM based implementation of Organization api used in GateIn by default) to have this feature before EXOJCR-1780 will be fixed and available in GateIn. Only thing is that with other eXo Organization API implementations, it won't not work correctly if these implementations don't have required support for editable fullName (so fullName will be editable in UI but won't be persisted if particular organization api implementation don't support persistence for it). Can I go this way or should I wait for EXOJCR-1780? On Feb 23, 2012, at 11:50 AM, Marek Posolda wrote: Ok, it's possible to avoid changing in User interface and use fullName field for it. However I think that it's not so clear from semantics perspective as fullName always means combination of firstName lastName when displayName, which will be editable by user, can be something completely different (like email address). But looks like we don't have much other choices if we want to avoid change of User interface... However in GateIn UI, I would be for using label "Display Name" for this new field. Is it ok? And it would mean that class org.exoplatform.services.organization.impl.UserImpl will need to add new field: private String lastName = null; with implementations like: public String getFullName() { return this.fullName != null ? this.fullName : getFirstName() + " " + getLastName(); } public void setFullName(String fullName) { this.fullName = fullName; } Do you want me to create JIRA in EXOJCR for it? I think that for GateIn 3.2 is late anyway because AFAIK release will be in next few days.

This way we have nothing to change in top level applications (apart the ability to modify it of course), we only need to implement these methods to store/retrieve it properly in/from the data store in the different implementation of the OrganizationService which is more acceptable/doable for GateIn 3.2/ JCR 1.14 if it is really needed to have it asap On Thu, Feb 23, 2012 at 8:52 AM, Julien Viet <julien(a)julienviet.com&gt;wrote: > The computed property "fullName" is persistable and could be used for > this display name. > > When the value does not exist: use the current behavior "firstName > lastName". > When a user saves a new value, it will be used instead of the default > computed value. > > There is already the setFullName(String) method on the User interface > that is empty in all implementations. > > > On Feb 23, 2012, at 9:08 AM, Nicolas FILOTTO wrote: > > Hi, > > How many customers are we talking about?
