Description

Hi,

I want to have some additional attributes about my users.

I can see from the above thread how to store them.

What I want to do though is just "hook" into the standard
CreateNewUserAndConfirm class.

I can't see an obvious way of doing this without just taking the whole of the
above class and amending it.

I was thinking we could split out the createUser part into a separate method,
which gets the empty user instance and populates the standard stuff.

This would be the core jetspeed code - no new functionality.

I could then extend it in my application and override just the createUser
method - calling super.createUser and then adding my application specific
attributes to the user.

I will submit a patch for this, unless there is a better suggestion offered.

Regards,
Chris
