Body:
Finalized J2 Specific User Attribute extension.
In jetspeed-portlet.xml, added extension:
<js:user-attribute-ref>
<js:name>user-name-given</js:name>
<js:name-link>user.name.given</js:name-link>
</js:user-attribute-ref>
which allow to map user.name.given portal attribute implementation to user-name-given,
name of the attribute used in the portlet implementation.
This will allows third party portlets to easily be mapped to the portal user
attributes implementation.

Description:
In the current portlet specs, there is no capability for mapping ref to link for user
attributes between a portlet and the portal implementation.
In a portlet application, we can specify which user attribute the portlet will use.
For instance:
<user-attribute>
<description>User Given Name</description>
<name>user.name.given</name>
</user-attribute>
where user.name.given is the name of the attribute in the portal and the portlet. But
what if, we want to deploy prebuilt portlets in J2 which leverage user attribute but
the portlet code user is user-name-given instead of user.name.given used by the portal.
It therefore seems to me, that the same way security mapping has a role-name and a
role-link, the same should apply to user attribute.
I am proposing that we leverage jetspeed-portlet.xml to support such a mapping. If no
mapping is specified then the default behavior takes place, if a mapping is specified
in jetspeed-portlet.xml, J2 will leverage that mapping as a way to map J2 user
attributes to the portlet user attribute (in the example above, user-name-given to
user.name.given).
