[teiid-designer-dev] [teiid-dev] Teiid In JCA Container

[Ted Jones]

Ramesh,

Here is a working doc we have regarding Jopr for Teiid: https://docspace.corp.redhat.com/clearspace/docs/DOC-20809
It's sort of open-ended since the direction is dependent on the ever-evolving direction of Teiid, but it should give you a good idea of Jopr capabilities we plan on leveraging. This doc was written with the expectation that the Admin API was going to be around moving forward, but that assumption seems to be in question now??

We can re-use/extend plugins so we should be able to take what the JBossAS plugin is doing and make it our own.

We can re-use the war deployment logic and add VDB verbiage in our Teiid plugin.

That's something Van and I have on our list for discussion. If we can assume that we are going to be deployed in JBossAs and ONLY JBossAS, then the Jopr plugin DOES have Tomcat user/group/role management capabilities that we could utilize.

Thanks,
Ted
