Writing a simple custom partition for ApacheDS

On the mailing list, regularly people ask regularly on how to write a custom partition in order to publish their data via LDAP. Please note that this is not an easy task. Nevertheless I try to give you a starting point with some simple examples.

If you simply plan to add another suffix to ApacheDS (besides example.com, for instance), it is not necessary to write any code. You can simply add some lines to the configuration.
