Other than the user/security stuff though, does Turbine have any other database needs itself? In otherwords, if I used fulcrum and plugged in a security system based on text files (just as an example), would I need a database connected at all for Turbine to work?
Thanks!

Gerry,
Not sure if you have looked at it, but look at the Fulcrum Security code. This is a pluggable security framework that makes it easy to roll your own implementation. http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/fulcrum/fulcrum-security/index.html will get you to the online info, however, what is in CVS has been highly improved. Just working on finishing updating the docs.
If you look at the unit tests, you can see how you can use Turbine's security, but delegate through an adapter to this pluggable security engine.

Howdy,
I'm still trying to figure out how to best integrate our project into Turbine and I keep getting stuck on the Torque part. I was hoping someone could clarify a few things for me.
1) Besides user login (and related groups/roles/permissions), does Turbine itself need access to a database to work? If so, what sort of things does it need to store/access?
2) If the answer to #1 is no, (turbine w/o security/user stuff doesn't use the database), is there any specific reason why you could not create an entirely seperate user authentication code (entirely outside the turbine framework - turbine would not even be aware of it).
I'm not saying that we want to roll our own security/user stuff, but I'm trying to figure out how much of those function *have* to be done wtih cooperation of Turbine in order to make things work vs ones that can be, but do not have to be, cooperating with Turbine.
Thanks!
Gerry
