Hi: I am half way through this article, but I'm stucked. When I add the Full Name in the Assitant and save, it would give error: com.webobjects.foundation.NSKeyValueCoding$UnknownKeyException: valueForKey(): lookup of unknown key: 'nameFull'. This class does not have an instance variable of the name nameFull or _nameFull, nor a method of the name nameFull, _nameFull, getNameFull, or _getNameFull What did I do wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

  From the information you've provided, I think the error is coming from your EOModel. You should check your model and make sure there is an Attribute called nameFull. Make sure both the Name and Column fields are filled in. Also check to see if the Attribute has the diamond-symbol next to it.
  
  HTH.

  I also am having this problem with fullName(). As I understand it, the reason for subclassing _User was so that an attribute for fullname was not needed in the database. What else could we be doing wrong?.....Dale

  You are correct. I mistakenly gave bad advice. SORRY!
  
  Hmm..the attribute of fullName should not be needed in the database nor the EOModel. Since I can't see your code, or project, I can only guess at a solution:
  <br/>
  <br/>check your EOModel and make sure your Entity's Name and Class Name is named User not _User
  <br/>

  If that doesn't solve it, please let me know.
