There is no way in the spec to retrieve registration properties

[Nathan E Lipke <nlipke@bea.com>]

    We have a couple of use-cases which require the current value of a 
consumer's registration properties to be fetched by the consumer. This 
is not currently possible in the WSRP 2.0 spec.

   1. During modifyRegistration present the user with a dialog box with
      registration properties in it.
         1. We would like to display the current property values, so the
            user can only change what's needed.
   2. We would like to be able to move a registration from one producer
      to another (e.g. staging to production)


We have thought of 2 ways to achieve this:

    * Add registrationProperties to the ServiceDescription type
          o Possibly add a boolean to getServiceDescription to determine
            when it is wanted
    * Add a new method to the Registration Interface to mirror the
      methods in the Portlet Management Interface
          o PropertyList getRegistrationProperties(registrationContext,
            UserContext, names)
          o Note: getRegistrationPropertyDescription(...) would not be
            needed as this information is available in the service
            description.

Thanks,

Nate
