introduce UserProfile and user metadata (storage mechanism agnostic) -------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBPORTAL-1043 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBPORTAL-1043 Project: JBoss Portal Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Portal Identity Affects Versions: 2.6.Alpha1 Reporter: Boleslaw Dawidowicz Assigned To: Boleslaw Dawidowicz Fix For: 2.6.Alpha1 - Each user entry (ldap or database table) can bring different set of user personal information. This makes the user profile - In portal we have property names like: user.name, user.surname, user.email, user.phone and etc. - Each UserModule implementation provide a mapping of properties to coresponding values in underlaying database or directory (table columns or ldat entry attributes for eg.) - Profile informations are accessed using API like: user.getMetaData().getProfileMetaData().getProperty(User.NAME_PROPERTY); .getAllProperties().iterator() - Currently this is handled by PropertyMap - keept as separate table in DB
