  • user.account.activation.enabled=true
  • user.account.activation.code.length=128
  • user.account.activation.code.generation.retry=3
  • user.account.activation.mail.from=activate@localhost
• Code in UserNewAction.java to send activation email
• New persistent POJO UserActivationData
• Code in UserManager implementations to store/retrieve new POJO
• New table: useractivate
