Not exactly about the proposal, but we have a problem porting Jetspeed to the
new security branch.
data.getUser() returns a User. We want to edit information using old ways (i.e.
the database). What would be the right way?
- Update fields in the User object and let Turbine save it to the DB. I think
that we are not using anything that is not in the new schema, so this should be
a way. That looks simple, but I'm not sure on how to do it.
- Use the database (the old actions code did this). In this case, we miss the
getId() method in User. We need to cast a User to a TurbineUser to get this
method. Would it be safe to assume this? Else, would it be safe to assume that
every kind of user will have some sort of unique numeric id, and thus add this
method to the User interface? (That would be a very simple patch, if it makes
sense.)
The code we are porting is relatively old. We don't understand so well the new
model... The situation is not ideal, as you can see :)
