What kind of access are you tallking about - i.e. what kind of
operations are you looking to perform.
You could consider using the setProperties method I added to
ParameterParser instead. This will match parameter names to setXXX
methods for you.
For other stuff you might use a similar methodology, but I'd have to
know what you are trying to do...

But the permanent and temporary hashtables are quite specific to
TurbineUser, there's no reason why a class derived from BaseObject
should store its attributes in this way at all. My deriviations use
instance fields for everything.
