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

             Summary: Not all SharePoint Metadata Fields are returned - 2
                 Key: CONNECTORS-1324
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1324
             Project: ManifoldCF
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: SharePoint connector
    Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 2.4
         Environment: Java 1.8, Windows x64, Sharepoint 2013
            Reporter: Konstantin Avdeev


Hello Karl,

This is a follow up ticket for 
[1284|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-1284].
There is still a problem with getting meta-data from sharepoint lists.

E.g. I'm missing the "title" and "description" fields in the result documents.

Let's take the "title" field from a list document:
{code:xml|title=DEBUG: SharePoint: getFieldList xml response:}
...
    <ns1:Field ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Type="Text" 
Name="Title"
    DisplayName="Task Name" Required="TRUE" 
SourceID="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3";
    StaticName="Title" FromBaseType="TRUE" Sealed="TRUE" ColName="nvarchar1" />
...
{code}

The field {{Name}} is the internal (technical) field name, and {{DisplayName}} 
is the frontend (user-friendly) name. 
The connector maps {{Name}} to {{DisplayName}} when it is preparing the request:
{code:java|title=SharePointRepository.java}
            for (String field : fieldNames.keySet())
            {
              String value = fieldNames.get(field);
              fields[j++] = (value==null)?field:value;
{code}

Changing the last two string to:
{code:java}
              fields[j++] = field;
{code}
solves the problem.
I doubt, the {{DisplayName}} should be used at all, as it can contain non-ascii 
chars, e.g.:
{code:xml}
...
<ns1:Field ID="{fa564e0f-0c70-4ab9-b863-0177e6ddd247}" Type="Text" Name="Title" 
DisplayName="&#xDC;berschrift" ...
{code}

Currently, only fields with the same Name/DisplayName values can be indexed.
Could you please look into this?
Thank you!
