Problems using custom LDAPPartition on 1.5.7

[Matt Doran <ma...@papercut.com>]

Hi there,

I was asking on the list yesterday about problems with baseless searches 
on 1.5.5, and the consensus was to try 1.5.7.

I've got a custom partition working well in 1.5.5, but I'm having issued 
getting this working in 1.5.7 and would love some advice.

I've been able to start-up an embedded server based on the embedded LDAP 
server partition.   But when I try to add my custom partition following 
the same approach as the JDBM partitions in the sample, I get this error 
at the service start-up:

org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.exception.LdapNoSuchObjectException: 
ERR_268 Cannot find a partition for dc=mytest,dc=local

     at EmbeddedADSVer157.main(EmbeddedADSVer157.java:272)


Looking at the code it can't find my partition in the 
DefaultPartitionNexus.partitionLookupTree.     I've added the partition 
to the DirectoryService, but is there something I'm missing?

I've attached a slightly hacked up version of "EmbeddedADSVer157.java" + 
a very cut down custom partition that shows this problem.

I've tried adding the partition after the service startup, and I get a 
similar result.

This was tested compiling and running against "apacheds-all.1.5.7.jar".

Any advice would be appreciated!!

==============================

I would have liked to dig into this myself by debugging through it to 
see what's missing, but I had trouble getting the example working with 
the sources in Eclipse.   I have the maven eclipse plugin installed, and 
the apacheds projects compile OK.  But I can't manage to get the 
embedded sample to work along side this.  I get compile errors trying to 
find "org.apache.directory.shared.ldap.schema.ldif"??  I'm not sure if 
this is an artifact of my eclipse environment, or a problem with the 
sample project.  PS: I'm not very familiar with managing Maven projects 
in Eclipse.

Ideally I'd like to get our non-maven project to run using the ApacheDS 
source in eclipse.  That way I could debug into things to work out the 
problem.  But doing this too I had troubles, and only got it to work 
using the "apacheds-all.1.5.7.jar".

Any tips on getting all this going in Eclipse?    :)

Thanks in advance,
