Authentication with identity management for abstract User ---------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-3846 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3846 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Framework Affects Versions: 2.1.0.SP1 Environment: any Reporter: Emil Iakoupov Priority: Optional Attachments: featureRequest.zip Original Estimate: 2 hours Remaining Estimate: 2 hours Hello, i ran into a little concern. I really want to use identity management. I have inheritence for Users. That is User is an abstract class and its children are different type of users. It basically has credentials (username, password and other option relevant to a user as a whole). Now how do i identityManagement.createUser? Since there could as many flows as types of users and for user-class i definately have to specify the User. I can always register a new user by persisting him/her to db, and then call identityManager.createUser? Would't second call return fallse? Having only one type of user for whole application would greatly complicate design. If you have any suggestions...
