             Summary: Utility class(es) for turning an id string into an activity object
                 Key: STREAMS-612
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STREAMS-612
             Project: Streams
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Steve Blackmon
            Assignee: Steve Blackmon


Sometimes when you ask a user to identify a social profile with a text box, there are numerous valid ways to do so.  Numeric ID, handle, and one of several URL formats are all suitable as an identifier, but we need the streams id to run streams providers targeting that account.  So it would be useful if there were a base interface, utility class, and potentially provider-customized implementations for parsing a string that might be any of the suitable patterns into an activity object with the correct id and objectType.
