Hi,
One question:
If the interface "User" hasn't a method to get the user's password, How can I add to
my repository a new user with the correct password ? The interface UsersRepository has
the method: "boolean addUser(User user)", the only reference to the user's data is an
interface "User".
In other implementations of UserRepository, it is done a cast to "DefaultUser" to use
the method "getHashedPassword()"
For example in
org.apache.james.userrepository.DefaultUsersJdbcRepository#setUserForInsertStatement(User
user, ...)
DefaultUser defUser = (DefaultUser)user;
...
userInsert.setString(3, defUser.getHashedPassword());
What do you think about to include the method "getHashedPassword()" in "User"
interface ?
Is it correct to do a cast to a class from an interface ? I think this generate a
dependency between RemoteManager and Users Repositories then the interface
"UserRepository" itsn't sufficient to determine the "contract" for the Users
repository implementation. Is that correct ?
Roberto.
