TurbineUserManager (Fulcrum Security Master Build 2.1.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Serializable, UserManager

All Known Implementing Classes:

MemoryTurbineUserManagerImpl, TorqueTurbineUserManagerImpl
```
public interface TurbineUserManager
extends UserManager
```
This interface describes the methods that glue the "turbine" model together. This Fulcrum user manager is as used as a delegate in the default Turbine user manager. The user <T extends User> is wrapped using an extended user model, which includes at least TurbineUser interface. This interface's methods are wrapped in Turbine user manager (org.apache.turbine.services.security.UserManager) either in a method with the same name (and very similar signature) or mapped to method names as listed below:
- Turbine (framework) user manager method(s) -> method(s) in this (Fulcrum) manager
- createAccount -> UserManager.addUser(User, String)
- removeAccount -> UserManager.removeUser(User)
- store -> UserManager.saveUser(User)
- retrieve (2x)-> UserManager.getUser(String), UserManager.getUser(String, String)
- retrieveList -> UserManager.getAllUsers()
- accountExists (2x)-> UserManager.checkExists(String), UserManager.checkExists(User)
