- the group names do not change frequently
- you don't have need of group hierarchies (or can use local groups to provide the group hierarchies)
- You don't need to answer the question 'Who are the members of group X' in uPortal (you can of course get that by querying the database table) because PAGS doesn't support answering that question
- You don't need hierarchies of groups (or could include groups into uPortal's local groups to accomplish your needs)

query to each subsequent DAO. I.e. subsequent DAOs in the cascade list will
*not* be given a chance to process the original query. But they will if you add
them directly to the MergingPersonAttributeDaoImpl.personAttributeDaos list here.)
