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
