What i'm trying to achieve is to customize activiti to use my own users table instead of the default ACT_ID_USER table. My question is around how far in customizing everything should I go? </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I've been thinking to </SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1. replace mappings.xml (and initializing this from custom configuration class extending StandaloneProcessEngineConfiguration) to include my own SQL for User.xml entity, and pretty much keeping everything else as they are</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>2. replace mappings.xml to include my own entity called the Identity.xml for a new IdentityEntity class (implementing User and PersistentObject) and then extend UserManager with my own code that works with the IdentityEntity instances</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>3. replace mappings.xml to include my own entity together with my own IdentityEntity class but instead of extending UserManager I would create a new IdentityManager that extends AbstractManager (to get my own api more aligned with my DB table). This option means that I also need to extend IdentityServiceImpl and many of the commands to reflect the new IdentityManager class.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>4. do one of the above, but not mess with mappings.xml and custom configuration class that initializes the sqlSessionFactory – dunno what would be a good alternative though</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So which way should I go? Would option #3 even work? Any other suggestions?</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 09 Aug 2011 06:47:13 GMT wesley 2011-08-09T06:47:13Z Replacing ACT_ID_USER table https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/replacing-act-id-user-table/m-p/43224#M23505 I'd like to get a push to the right direction.
