Hi Chris,
I'll take a stab at answering your questions...see below.

Or do I have to > extend it to implement Retrievable? You can map it to any object as long as the object implements the Retrievable interface. The point of the map though is to: 1. have data prepopulated into the form fields 2. validate the data on form submission I guess the reason you'd like to map it to a "User" object is because you'd like the user to be able to fill in their information? Anyway, those 3 classes you mentioned don't implement Retrievable so if want to map things then you'll have to extend them. Whichever one you should map it to depends on what you want to do (You'd want to map it to an object that houses your data. User is just an interface so it's no good. TurbineUserPeer is for backend stuff so it doesn't seem good either. So maybe TurbineUser...as in, first extend TurbineUser then map, see the how-to on this on the Turbine website for extending TurbineUser). > 2) $intake.Group1.getDisplayName() doesn't work. > $intake.Group1.getKey() does work and > $intake.Group1.getClass() returns > "org.apache.turbine.services.intake.model.StringField", > so I am pretty sure that the Field object is created. Hmm..this is a bit hard to troubleshoot without the code but before you send us it perhaps you can try going through the steps I outlined in my howto, as mentioned in Rodney's response. http://www.yorku.ca/dkha/turbine/intake/ (Turbine devs: By the way, I'd like to contribute that howto to Turbine's doc base if people think it's useful.) > 3) What do I have to do to my torque-generated business classes in order > for them to be mapable by Intake? Thanks, I have not worked with Torque yet as our business objects come from elsewhere. But I think Rodney's right in that you don't really need to do anything except use it in your intake.xml, templates, and Action classes. I hope this helps. I am still learning bits of Turbine too. :) > Chris > > --- "Dan K." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi again, > > > > what have you got problems with?
