--------------------------------------------------------------------

                 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
