Basic Idea
To enable user avatar travel from a grid service to another grid service, There are 2 problem to be considered:
- How to enable foreign user login - Authentication
- How to get a foreign user's belongings(including appearance, inventory)
To achieve the 1st, client side changes are needed. SO, so far, I have only implemented 2nd, and would like to explan my idea:
Authentication
Avatar Portability
In "users" table, "UserInventoryURL" and "UserAssetURL" have been there for a long time, and they are not used yet. My idea starts from the 2 properties;
[[1]]
U1 is an user of GridService G1, so probably, U1's "UserInventoryURL" and "UserAssetURL" are pointing to G1's default Inventory/Asset server.
R1 is a regionserver in GridService G2, so R1 used to fetch assets from G2's default Asset server.
