Configuration Area

There is a configuration area under ou=system: ou=configuration,ou=system. Here we can put some things to control the server to be managed by both OSGi config admin and by a standalone release without OSGi.

We can add partions when we detect changes to partition entries in this area using the event notification pattern. This way partition configuration can be managed dynamically by making ldap changes. (We can achieve this functionality using Triggers.)

Management of most systems requiring simple configuration parameters can be done with simple configuration entries using ExtendedObject class.
