I'm afraid that I introduced some confusion with my previous mail. I was
talking about the partition from the user point of view, not from the
developper point of view. In this case, yes, you have to implement the
Partition interface.
What users want, mainly, is to define their own partition like, say,
"dc=my-company,dc=com", and inject data into it, not defining a new
partition with a SGBD storage (I guess).
I agree this is confusing, as we are mixing the partition we have in the
conf and the Partition interface, with all the magic needed to store
data and search into it.
Am I right about tis possible confusion ?
Yes, we talked about the way an advanced developer would implement his
own backend storage, not configuration of a JDBM partition in server.xml
There are several mails on the lists about this topic. So I started to
write something to have a starting point. In it's disclaimer, I have
written the following:

If you simply plan to add another suffix to ApacheDS (besides
dc=example,dc=com, for instance) in order to store data, it is not
necessary to write any code. You can simply add some lines to the
configuration. The following is for developers who plan to implement
another storage mechanism than the provided default.

The discussion about configuration in general, although interesting, is
a another thing.
