----------------------------------

    Attachment: featureRequest.zip


Hello, 
i implemented this functionality, ran my application, seams to be working. Zip contains 6 java files(IdentityManager, IdentityStore and JpaIdentityStore and test code for demonstrating purposes note that test code i did not run, i had another one - little more complex, but inheritance strategy is same).

> 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...
