<div>Hi Ramesh,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Using the template classes, I get few compilation errors. Which cdk-dist version do I need to use ? </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have checked in the required changes to reflect the latest templates as per your last email. Please review and let me know, which libraries to use to fix these errors.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks</div>

<div><br>> 1. <config-property> is defined as: description*,<br>> config-property-name, config-property-type, config-property-value?<br>> Will the ra.xml editor show a 4 column table only with the<br>> config-properties ? This would mean that we DO NOT show the whole xml<br>
> in a nested tree.<br></div>I do not think showing the whole tree is necessary. Our main aim here is<br>to add "user" properties that are specific to the connector needed to be<br>added easily. Those are "config-property" section. So, if we can add<br>
those through GUI that is enough to satisfy our need. You can leave<br>manual editing of "ra.xml" up to the user. We do not want hide the<br>resulting file either.<br>
<div><br>><br>> 2. Capability to add/delete description, property-name, property-type,<br>> property-value which would update ra.xml on the fly.<br></div>Yes. Note that "config-property-value" denotes a "default" value<br>
supplied by the user. Also, "config-property" can have multiple<br>"description" fields. May be you can let them add multi-line description<br>and add each line as one "description" element inside "config-property".<br>
Here is sample block.<br><br><config-property><br> <description>Is Immutable</description><br> <description>True if the source never changes.</description><br> <config-property-name>Immutable</config-property-name><br>
<config-property-type>java.lang.Boolean</config-property-type><br> <config-property-value>true</config-property-value><br></config-property><br><br>Note the "config-property-type", they can be any "java.lang" objects,<br>
may be you want to provide a "drop down" selection on that field.<br>
<div><br>><br>> 3. Do we need to validate schema restrictions ?<br></div>Yes/no, the ra.xml schema is defined by JCA 1.5 spec. You can find it<br>here<br><a href="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/connector_1_5.xsd" target="_blank">http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/connector_1_5.xsd</a><br>
<br>If we let user manually edit, Yes. Which I think we should.<br>
<div><br>><br>> 4. Which properties class the get/set to be added ? Is the properties<br>> class generated if it's not in the workspace ?<br></div>The template will have a configuration class with name like<br>
"xxManagedConnectionFactory.java". Check here for the template classes I<br>promised. I will keep them updated if any changes and let you know.<br><a href="http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/teiid/branches/JCA/connectors/sandbox/connector-template/" target="_blank">http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/teiid/branches/JCA/connectors/sandbox/connector-template/</a><br>
<div><br><br>><br>> 5. How to use the optional <config-property-value> attribute in the<br>> properties class ?<br><br></div>Properties call will only have getters and setters. By having the "config-property-value"<br>
in the ra.xml file the container will automatically assign them on startup of connector.<br><br><br>Thanks.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Ramesh..<br><br></font></blockquote></div><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div>
