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

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.

I'm not against doing that for next versions but it is clearly too late for GateIn 3.2/JCR 1.14, it is not acceptable to modify interfaces in branches that are very close to be in maintenance mode. Moreover we would have 3 implementations of the Organization Service to review in very limited time only on eXo side, on your side you have IDM too.
