Description:
Regarding the ProxyPortlet.fillUserProfile() method...

The code assumes that if user information (the userInfo Map) is available, then a user attribute of the name "name.given" exists.  First, this attribute might not exists, so the code should check for null.  Second, the user's given name should be represented by "user.given.name" as specified in the Portlet Specification.  Also, the user.given.name attribute should be declared in the portlet's portlet.xml deployment descriptor.  Actually, you might as well add all the attributes associated with the PersonName object in WSRP.

I will attach a patch file for the ProxyPortlet and for the portlet.xml.

By the way, I discovered this problem as soon as I configured my portal to return a non-null object from the PortletRequest.getRemoteUser() method.  This had the effect of causing the ProxyPortlet to call the fillUserProfile() method which resulted in a NullPointerException because the "name.given" attribute was not present.
