Turbine Security problem

[Nathan Barron <na...@Rightmove.co.uk>]

Guys
 
I am having problems with the
org.apache.turbine.services.security.TurbineSecurity class. If I use the
method saveUser(User user) within the class it doesn't save any 'Date' type
objects into the database that I have set within the particular 'User'
object I have given the method, in particular the lastlogin 'Date' field.
However the method does save any strings that I set within the 'User' object
into the database.
 
Has anyone got a fix as I know that it has got to be a bug in the turbine
architecture framework.
 
Cheers
 
Nathan

Hi Nathan!

We had some issues with the CREATED date field in the Turbine User object.  
Whenever we called User.getCreated(), the call would return the time the 
object was instantiated rather than the time the User was created in the 
database.  To solve this problem, we wrote our own User subclass with the 
following method overrides...

------------
public Date getCreated() {
  return (Date) getPerm("CREATED");
}

public void setCreated(Date d) {
  setPerm("CREATED", d);
}
------------

...  which ensured that the CREATED date was stored and retrieved from the 
database.

As far as the LAST_LOGIN field is concerned, ours is set in our Login action, 
which is updated every time a user logs in to the system.  This is done with 
the following call...

------------
user.updateLastLogin();
------------

The only other date data is the MODIFIED field.  We use MySQL as our 
database, and because this is the first timestamp field in our TURBINE_USER 
table, it is updated automatically by MySQL whenever a TURBINE_USER row is 
updated.

Hope that helps,
