Hi Andrew,

I'm not terribly familiar with this code. The overall approach sounds good to me. One thing I was wondering though is why you'd store the 'sticky profile' information into a separate table. Why wouldn't you update the UserProfile.fname for the particular user? I'm assuming (but haven't verified) that all users have an entry in the UP_USER_PROFILE table or it could hold an entry if a user selects something other than the default.

uPortal developers,

MyUW has a need to make ad-hoc profile selection (via profile=bucky on
/Login) less "hoc" and more sticky-across-sessions.

UP-4223 took a shot at this but didn't seem to work in MyUW.

Having looked into this a bit, I'd like to propose this alternative
implementation of making profile selection sticky:

I'm close to working code implementing this design and intend to offer
a Pull Request once it seems to be working locally.

Feedback and design input welcome.

Kind regards,

Andrew
