PicketLink 3.0.0.alpha1 extend User functionality

[arg20]

My User entity has more attributes such as address and middle name, etc. I thought extending SimpleUser would do, but since SimpleUser is not an entity, I'd rather have to extend IdentityObject, to add columns to its database table, say by using a one table inheritance strategy, but how would this work when I try to fetch it or login? I think I won't be able to re use PicketLink's mechanisms. Is this so? It'd be nice if you could set parameters through generics or something to use your own class instead of the User interface.

My question boils down to, is it possible to extend users to have more attributes in a way that doesn't involve creating other cdi controller beans etc? Just using picketlink's.

Ok I was dumb enough to try and extend IdentityObject... Not going down that road again, obviously the first thing that happens is your code stops deploying because it doesn't have the @IDMProperty annotations in the new fields you add, which requires you to also modify PropertyType to add the custom enum values, which if you do, I'm not even sure what the behavior would be anywway.
