You just update the components.xml file to use your own class instead  
of DbSiteService. Your class might use DbSiteService behind the  
scenes, but as far as Spring is concerned, is a fair swap as long as  
your class implements SiteService.

When I suggested creating a new tool, I didn't mean that you shouldn't  
have your own Sakai component as well. The advantage of working in a  
new tool is that it is an environment you completely control, and as  
such it's the easiest way to _show_ your custom behavior, which is not  
to say that your custom behavior has to be confined to the  
presentation layer.
