RE: extending jetspeed security model

[Pierre Henry]

Martin, here are the steps I already went through :


1. Modify the torque schema.xml :

I changed the name of the table user to MYUSER, but I specified
JavaName=TurbineUser, so that the generated classes keep the same name.
Added the 'title' field.
<table name="MYUSER" idMethod="idbroker" javaName="TurbineUser">
...
 <column name="TITLE" size="99" type="VARCHAR" />
...
</table>

I rebuilt to generate the peer classes.


2. Create a MyUser interface and a MyUserImpl class

MyUser extends JetspeedUser and add the setTitle and getTitle methods, and
the static final String TITLE = "title".

MyUserImpl extends BaseJetspeedUser and implements MyUser :

public class MyUserImpl extends BaseJetspeedUser implements MyUser {
    public String getTitle(){
       return (String) getPerm(MyUser.TITLE);
    }
    public void setTitle(String title){
        setPerm(PcsUser.TITLE, title);
    }
}


3. Modifiy the JetspeedSecurity.* files

set
"services.JetspeedSecurity.user.class=myclasses.portal.om.security.MyUserImp
l"

Wherever this parameter appears.



I hope this can help you, and I hope this is the right way to do it :)

cheers
