interface Partition: Difference between getSuffixDn() and getUpSuffixDn?
Hi all!
I try to experiment with the Partition interface in order to provide a
simple example for the Docs. Here is a question I have.
In the interface org.apache.directory.server.core.partition.Partition
(which I have to implement) the two methods getSuffixDn() and
getUpSuffixDn() have the same javadoc. It states "Gets the
distinguished/absolute name of the suffix for all entries stored within
this ContextPartition."
What is the difference between the two, and what exactly does the "Up"
in getUpSuffixDn() mean? I was thinking about "user provided". Perhaps
one is expected in a normalized way ... But these are only guesses.
Thanks in advance,
Stefan

yeah, this is pretty lousy.

It's 'User provided', which doe snot make a lot of sense when you know
that you get a DN, which already provides methods to get the UP value.
It certainly has to be fixed...
Thanks for pointing out this !

First we must make sure LdapDN works properly in returning the updn. We
need to cleanup LdapDN before cleaning up the partition.

Don't waste your time on the Javadoc : it would be much better to remove
the getUpSuffixDn() method ...

hi Stefan,
yeah you are right getSuffixDn() gives a normalized DN where as
getUpSuffixDn() gives the user provided.
Will change the javadoc.
