Can't change partition name: DefaultPartition is hardcoded

SourceForge Submitter: kosulin .
JBoss 3.0.3 Clustering: DefaultPartition is hardcoded
in ClusterSyncEntityInstanceCache.create()

When I try to use the custom partition name, I am
getting an exception:

Here is the source from
ClusterSyncEntityInstanceCache.java causing this exception:

this.ds.registerDSListener (this.DS_CATEGORY, this);

The problem is that ds==null because of method create()
implementation:

public void create() throws Exception

{ super.create (); // Get a reference to the DS service // String name = "jboss:service=DistributedState,partitionName=DefaultPartition"; ds = (DistributedState)org.jboss.system.Registry.lookup (name); }
