I agree it's a bit of a hack, but that sounds like the best tradeoff we can afford at
the moment.
for EXOJCR I think you can reasonably add the JIRA.
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).

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.
Thanks,
Marek

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

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.
