javax.naming.directory.DirContext	getPartition(javax.naming.Name name) Returns the associated partition context based on a name object parameter.
javax.naming.directory.DirContext	getPartition(java.lang.String name) Returns the associated partition context based on a name string parameter.
javax.naming.Context	getPartitionRoot(javax.naming.Name name) Returns the root context of a partition naming system based on a name object parameter.
javax.naming.Context	getPartitionRoot(java.lang.String name) Returns the root context of a partition naming system based on a name string parameter.
