the setSuffix() method should be called before adding to the  service

        MyTestLdapPartition partition = new MyTestLdapPartition();
        partition.setId("mytest");
        partition.setSuffix( "dc=mytest,dc=local" ); // <------ this is required
        service.addPartition(partition);

and the setSuffix() method of MyTestLdapPartition should be changed to
set the internal suffix Dn, the implementation can be something like
as shown below

    public void setSuffix(String suffix) throws LdapInvalidDnException {
        _suffix = suffix;
        _suffixDn = new DN( suffix );
    }
