Here's a link for you to logingotcha, i don't know why i was thinking of something else. in any case, i think the design could be simplified a bit. rather than create a whole new table why not just add the activationcode column to the existing rolleruser table? that way we don't need the new table, pojo, and manager methods. in fact, the registration code is basically unchanged except for adding in this logic ... if(emailActivationEnabled) { newUser.setEnabled(false); // generate activation code newUser.setActivationCode(code); // send activation email }
Yes. I prefer that too. - Dave
