After some discussion with PGR, we think it makes more sense for the
detection to live in the Teiid Designer repository.<br>
<br>
Teiid Designer currently only has code for detecting teiid in
*running* servers, with no support for identifying a Teiid
installation in servers that aren't running. This makes sense for
their use case (server may be remote) but is not useful for runtime
detection at all. <br>
<br>
TD currently is not involved in the server creation at all, but
rather just adds listeners so that once a server is added, or
started, they can begin their configuration / build up their model.
They also provide editor extensions that allow setting fields on the
IServerWorkingCopy. <br>
<br>
<b>Barry</b>: One thing that would help tremendously with
identifying installations in non-running local servers is if I could
have a map of Teiid / DV releases and what underlying JBoss /
Wildfly / EAP versions they correspond to. What I've heard so far is
that Teiid 7.x was based on JBoss 5, while the 8.x stream is for
AS7. It's pretty important to get a full mapping of supported
releases to their underlying JBoss version, though. This way I can
properly implement the Server Bean Loaders / Runtime detection. <br>
<br>
One final thing to note, which I think we should bring up to the
Teiid runtime team directly, is that DV product properly uses the
layer system in JBoss 7. It has the expected
org/jboss/as/product/dv/dir/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF file, with the
expected attribute JBoss-Product-Release-Version: 6.1.0...<br>
<br>
But the community releases of Teiid *do not*. They simply put
everything in modules/system/layers/base, with no clear way of
identifying a version. If I wanted to look at the version here, I'd
need to introspect
teiid-8.10.0.Final/modules/system/layers/base/org/jboss/teiid/api/main/teiid-api-8.10.0.Final.jar
and look at it's manifest.mf for the Bundle-Version, which so far
seems accurate. <br>
<br>
With all this in mind, it should be relatively painless (once I get
that version mapping from Barry) to get runtime detection +
downloading supported for Teiid Runtime / DV. There may be some
issues in stacks.yaml (since I'm not too familiar with all the bom
stuff) but I expect the version mapping will help me to properly
pull from other parts of stacks.yaml without issue. <br>
