If you wanted to make as few changes as possible (i.e., none), you could just
use the following:
String address1 = (String)data.getUser().getPerm("ADDRESS1");
Obviously, that is not the most elegant way to do it. You could add code to all
those classes which basically boils down to the following in TurbineUser:
public String getAddress1() {
return (String)data.getUser().getPerm(TurbineUserPeer.ADDRESS1);
}
The problem with doing that, however, is that to get to it from RunData, you'd
have to cast the value returned by getUser(). For example:
TurbineUser turbineUser = (TurbineUser)data.getUser();
String address1 = turbineUser.getAddress1();
Getting around that would require adding a getAddress1() method to the User
interface, which IMO would be a very bad thing. (I'm sure I'm not the only one
who'd -1 that change. ;-)) The User interface should be as thin as possible to
make creating alternative implementations much easier. Therefore, your best bet
may be to just use the non-elegant code fragment described above. :-)
