             Summary: OID marshalling should allow an '@' symbol for the version.getUser()
                 Key: ISIS-546
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-546
             Project: Isis
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core
    Affects Versions: core-1.2.0
            Reporter: Dan Haywood
            Assignee: Dan Haywood
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: core-1.3.0


In testing Estatio's LDAP integration, have found that the userId contains an '@' symbol.  When this is marshalled into an OID (as part of the serialization of the version of the object) we get a runtime exception.

The original reason for excluding the '@' symbol was because of URI encoding concerns, eg if the OID appeared in a URI for the Restful Objects viewer.  However, the value would only ever occur in the path part of the URI (if in the body or query string, then the RO spec defines base 64 encoding anyway).  

As per http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt (section 3.3), the path component may contain an '@' symbol.
