How to persist a profile ?

Question

Is it possible to persist a profile such as the CustomerProperties to the database using the ProfileControl?
It seems that setting properties is only in memory.
Or do I need to create a custom user profile manager?

This code adds lots of users and profiles.
you have to login first with "weblogic" before you can add them all.
     @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = "success", path = "success.jsp") })
     public Forward processForm(portlets.login.LocalLoginController.LoginForm form) {
          Forward forward = new Forward("success");
          try {
               boolean isRegistered = Boolean.parseBoolean(form.getRegister());
               if (isRegistered)
                    Authentication.login(form.getUserID(),form.getPwd(),this.getRequest(),this.getResponse());
                    ProfileWrapper pw;
                    pw = profileControl.getUserProfile(getRequest().getRemoteUser());
                    pw.setProperty("CustomerProperties","CustomerType",form.getCustomerType());
                    int offset = 2000;
                    for (int i=200; i<10000; i++)
                         String name = "NewUser" + i;
                         userProviderControl.createUser(name,name,getRequest());
                         ProfileWrapper ronpw = profileControl.getUserProfile(name);
                         ronpw.setProperty("CustomerProperties","CustomerType","myCustomerType");
                         ronpw.setProperty("CustomerProperties","FirstName","createFirstNameProperty");
                         ronpw.setProperty("CustomerProperties","LastName","createLastNameProperty");
                         ronpw.validateProfile();
                    }
