Retrieving fullname attribute from GMail/Google App account

[Bastiaan Welmers]

Hi there,

Has someone been able to retrieve a name attribute from
GMail/Google Apps accounts? I tried the exchange attribute
"fullname" and "nickname" but it returns null. The code summary
for the servlet I am using can be found on :
http://www.welmers.net/~bastiaan/OpenIdServlet.java

When on the google page, it only asks for permission
of the email and language attribute.

Thanks in advance,

Bastiaan Welmers

Google only supplies:

"country"
"email"
"firstname"
"language"
"lastname"

See http://code.google.com/apis/accounts/docs/OpenID.html

Thanks.

I've read that, but I thought the 'includes' means that those
attributes are possible but there may be more. And I've always
entered my full name at google as one field, so I don't get how
google could split these up in firstname and lastname.

When I add firstname to the list of attributes, I get an
exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 'firstname' not found. The ff are supported:
nickname,email,fullname,dob,gender,postcode,country,language,timezone
at com.dyuproject.openid.ext.SRegExtension.addExchange(SRegExtension.java:106)

Google only supports AxSchema.

For SReg, firstname is not a vaild attribute exchange.

See "Response Format" in http://openid.net/specs/openid-simple-registration-extension-1_0.html

Cheers

Great, that did the trick. (with firstname and lastname)

Thanks a lot!
