Re: [gatein-dev] Adding new field displayName for User
yes, original plan is to have it in 5.2.1. I am not sure if it's
possible with changes in organization API as it's part of exo.core and
so it depends on release cycle of eXo JCR...
So we may want to postpone it to next EPP or use some other temporary
solution, which won't require changes in Organization api - like forking
class UserImpl from exo.core.organization.api into portal codebase and
add displayName to it and change UI components like
if (user instanceof ForkedUserImpl)
{
((ForkedUserImpl)user).setDisplayName(displayName);
}
else
{
log.warn("user not instance of ForkedUserImpl");
}
Second possibility can be to save displayName in some attribute of
UserProfile.
Anyway both possibilities seems to me like hacks and most proper would
be to add displayName directly into User interface in
exo.core.organization.api.

it is scoped for EPP 5.2.1 ?
