Dan Haywood updated ISIS-802:

    Description: 
As a write-up from IsisCon2014, Dan said:

> > The profile store is a component of the framework that is not supported by
> > either the Wicket or Restful Objects viewers, but whose functionality is
> > broadly superceded by the UserSettingsService.

To which Kevin replied:

> When the UI becomes user-configurable (re-arranged, pallete change,
> etc) this should be demo'd.
> 
> Where are user preferences (e.g. UI language, timezone, etc) currently
> stored? Do we have demo code?

And so Dan said:

There are two points here... where to store preferences, and how/what within 
Isis should consume them.

For the former, we have the UserSettingsService (part of applib); in the JDO 
applib there is an entity-based implementation,

For the latter, nothing in Isis particularly consumes these.  For timezones we 
tend to use LocalDate which gets around the issue to some extent; but you are 
right that the UserProfile class (in the profilestore) does hold this 
Localization class; that needs surfacing out as a first-class concept somehow.

So perhaps ProfileStore should live on, but not as a component, but instead as 
a separate service.

In all, I see three related subdomains:

[Shiro security]   ->  [Isis user profile (i18n etc) service]  ->  [Isis user 
settings service]

I'll raise a ticket to capture this thinking so far.
