That's true at the moment, although you could easily extend SQLSession.setFieldValue/getFieldValue or LDAPSession.getAttributeValue/getFieldValue to take into account new types.
We'd be happy to add such code to Nuxeo if you have a patch.

Except directories currently only support INTEGER, VARCHAR & TIMESTAMP sql types don't they? And then there is LDAP, etc..

The simplest way would be to use directories, yes, and register your extended type with the UserManager.

Hi,

It looks like we will have a requirement to 'expand' on the information stored about Users. Basically 'User Profile' type information. It would contain such details as:

- Title, Mr, Mrs, Miss, Dr, etc..
- Quick Bio
- Image (avatar / uploaded picture)
- 'What I'm working on'
- Instant Messenger details
- Company Position
- Contact details, e.g. address, land-line phone number(s), mobile phone number

Would this be of use to Nuxeo / the community as a plugin?

Is someone out there working on similar that we could collaborate with?

Any opinions on the most appropriate way to store this information

- As an extension to the current User type using the Directory system?
- As a UserProfile document type?
- As an EJB Entity?
- something else?

Thanks,

Sean
