Re: How to plug in custom Partition

[Alex Karasulu <ak...@apache.org>]

Juergen,

Sorry to hear your woes regarding adding a new partition to ADS.  I whipped
together
a little example project in my sandbox to demonstrate how you can get a
custom
partition up and running within the server with the least functionality.

Take a look at this for now and let me know if it helps show you what's
going on.  I
will try to look at your problem once again tomorrow if the example does not
help.

Thanks,
Alex

Oooops forgot the URL to the example project:


http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/directory/sandbox/akarasulu/custom-partition/

Re: How to plug in custom Partition

[Juergen Weber <we...@gmail.com>]

OK, I figured it out:

in server.xml add a PartitionConfiguration to
contextPartitionConfigurations by copying and adapting
examplePartitionConfiguration.

The trick is to use an subclass PartitionConfiguration that overwrites
the contextPartition attribute (which is JdbmPartition() in
PartitionConfiguration.java).

Thanks,
Jürgen

Re: How to plug in custom Partition

Hi Alex,

I had figured out how to extend AbstractPartition, but I did not find
out, how to make the server aware of my Partition. Unfortunately your
repository does not show to add a custom partition to server.xml, does
it?
The constructor of my partition gets called, but I believe this is
Spring-only and the server does not really know my partition.

Thanks,
Juergen
