Newbie Creating a partition

Hi all,

I am a newbie to LDAP and ApacheDS.  I am trying to follow the documentation for ApacheDS 1.5.2 to create a new partition. The link in

http://directory.apache.org/apacheds/1.5/144-adding-your-own-partition-resp-suffix.html

The server.xml nodes describe in the above link is different from the server.xml I have. I seem to have an updated version. Am i looking at the right file ? If so  where is the above equivalent link for the updated server.xml.

Thanks
Narsi

Unfortunately, the documentation has not been updated yet. But the new
configuration style makes it quite simple to add a new partition.

Go to the <partitions> element within your server.xml and add a
<jdbmPartition ...> block comparable to the example partition shipped
with the default configuration. Something like

       <jdbmPartition id="sevenSeas" cacheSize="100"
suffix="o=sevenSeas" optimizerEnabled="true"
                      syncOnWrite="true">
         <indexedAttributes>
           <jdbmIndex attributeId="objectClass" cacheSize="100"/>
         </indexedAttributes>
         <contextEntry>#sevenSeasContextEntry</contextEntry>
       </jdbmPartition>

later on, add a context entry in the config file comparable to the one
for the example.

Sorry for the inconvenience with the documentation. I hope this helps ...
