1. Goals: * Improved performance through among other things better concurrency ? * Perhaps beat back the significant complexity and inheritance-over-composition that has grown into the PersonDirectory codebase over time?
2. Accomplished? * there's some code * it's abandonware that could be adopted and un-abandoned 3. What next? Well, either finish it, or find a way not to need it (instead adopting, say, the Shibboleth IdP AttributeResolver APIs? Something else? Has anyone other than Jasig / uPortal / Apereo nailed the problem of querying user attributes? Gathering and transforming user attributes is one of those things that an Identity Provider is *about*, so maybe there's a way to use those APis and implementations and not have to develop and maintain PersonDirectory code anymore?) :) Adopters of Shibboleth and of uPortal might appreciate the synergy in the attribute gathering plugins being the same API to plug in to so that attribute gathering configuration solutions that have been developed for one product are more readily applicable to the other product.
