[jira] Created: (DIRSERVER-1322) Auto inferring context entry
Auto inferring context entry
----------------------------
Key: DIRSERVER-1322
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1322
Project: Directory ApacheDS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: core
Affects Versions: 1.5.4
Reporter: Alex Karasulu
We've just removed the configuration in the server.xml for specifying the context entry (CE) for a partition. There were issues with implementing this with XBean - it was very messy too. Instead we now defer creation of the context entry until after the server is started. So the partition is created and present yet it does not have the context entry which makes it not seen even though the entry is listed in the RootDSE under the namingContexts attribute.
It's disappointing to fire up the server and notice your namingContext is missing for a new partition you added. The first thing the user feels is that there's something wrong with the way they configured their partition.
Rather than omit the CE, I suggest we have the partition infer a context entry based on the namingContext DN's RDN attribute. Partitions should be able to accept a CE in which case the inference process is bypassed. If omitted though the CE is inferred. Some examples:
For o=apache:
dn: o=apache
objectClass: top
objectClass: organization
objectClass: extensibleObject
o: apache
For dc=apache,dc=org
dn: dc=apache,dc=org
objectClass: top
objectClass: domain
objectClass: extensibleObject
dc: apache

[jira] Commented: (DIRSERVER-1322) Auto inferring context entry
Posted by "Stefan Zoerner (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.

Stefan Zoerner commented on DIRSERVER-1322:
-------------------------------------------
I recommend to infer a context entry only for JDBM or XDBM partitions, not partitions in general. If a developer has created a partition on his/her own, he/she should be able to decide what should happen with the context entry.

----------------------------------------------
I agree 100% with this approach. However, I would start with a simple injection of an entry with all the RDN AVAs and the extensibleObject objectClass (not trying to infer the ObjectClasses from the RDN...)

Yep that will definitely work and easier to implement really quickly.

------------------------------------------
That's a good point. I think we can make it so this is only the case in a default constructor of the base class. Another can provide the argument for the specified CE which bypasses any such inference process.
