Subject: [wsrp-wsia] [I#118] RegistrationData.userProfileExtensions[] needs ades crip tion sub-element


Status: Active
Topic:  Registration
Class:  Minor Techical
Title:  RegistrationData.userProfileExtensions[] needs a description sub-element
Document Section: Draft-WSIA-WSRP_Core_Interface-v0.8, Section 6.1.1
Description:
The userProfileExtensions sub-element of RegistrationData is just a String array, permitting the Producer to inform the Consumer of the names of user profile extensions it wishes to receive.  By itself, the name is pretty useless to the Consumer, who has the task of trying to map the named extension to something comparable in its own User management system.  Typically this would need to be a manual task, and I think that a human administrator would like not just a name, but also a text description of what the Producer expects as a value for this field. 
 
This is also an interoperability issue with JSR 168, which allows the portlet to specify the name and description of the custom user attributes it wants the portal to provide.
