Okay. I now have a new version of the Extending Turbine User how-to available. The following changes were made:
1. Added a section on how TurbineUser actually works. I thought this would be good background information would be helpful. 2. Added information about having to manually modify the TURBINE_USER database table. I also warned about not being able to use ant init after renaming the turbine-schema.xml file. 3. Added more javadocs in the classes to better explain what was going on. 4. Added a little information about the use of defaultJavaType="object" in my example and why. I also explained what would need to change if the user decides to go with primatives instead. 5. I also decided to have the user create both adapter classes and the map builder even if no additional columns were going to be used. After some thought, I decided that the instructions would be easier to follow that way. I did mention that the peer adapter and map builder could be implemented as empty classes if no additional columns would be used. This should be the last change that is needed to the how-to.
