Yes. Actually for Teiid 7.0 it is JBoss AS 5.1.0 + Teiid runtime.

Not really. You can install any where you want. If you are using iRods
as data source, it must be accessible from Teiid server.

Absolutely. Building a VDB is design time activity. Typically this is
installed on a developer's workstation and VDB gets built. Once the VDB
is built then it needs to be deployed into Teiid runtime which may on
production server somewhere else.

As of now we currently do not have a way to deploy the VDB with web
service models and expect to invoke a SOAP call. This is currently under
being developed. This may be ready by 7.0 final, but it will be surely
available in Teiid 7.1. So, I would suggest using JDBC interface until
we get this fixed. There are alternatives to be able to do this, check
