Don´t like it.

We are using Struts and Oracle for our web-applications and I don´t like to have
too many different technologies mixed up on our servers. There are maintaining
and security reasons for this.
And we have to use our existing user management to enbable our users working
with scarab. The best solution would be to customize scarab to use our user
table but as a quick solution I can write a database trigger which will insert
every newly registered user in our user table into the scarab user table. Using
Oracle that´s easy - using mySqL would complicate things a lot.

BTW - I´m not happy with the Turbine generated Tables. Oracle has much better
solutions for maintaining primary keys than a centralized ID-Table. That´s the
great disadvatage using a o2r-mapping tool: you can´t use many good features of
your database system and you get a lousy performance.
