BaseJetspeedUser has a Hashtable to store fields that would go to/from
permanent storage. You should get set values there (using the
getPerm/setPerm method) in order your values to go to the DB.
For example, what we do is:
(In the extended user middle initial is a new name)
public void setMiddleInitial(String initial) {
initial = initial.trim();
setPerm("MIDDLE_INITIAL", initial);
}
public String getMiddleInitial(){
return (String) getPerm ("MIDDLE_INITIAL");
}
(I think the key is the name of the column.)
