Method Details

findNameFor

public abstract String findNameFor(User u)

Finds full name of the given user.

This method is called when a User without explicitly name is used.

When multiple resolvers are installed, they are consulted in order and the search will be over when a name is found by someone.

Since UserNameResolver is singleton, this method can be invoked concurrently from multiple threads.

Returns:

null if the inference failed.

resolve

public static String resolve(User u)

all

public static ExtensionList<UserNameResolver> all()

Returns all the registered UserNameResolver descriptors.
