+<h1>Teiid Designer 7.1.0 M2 What's New</h1>
+<p>Last revised August 26, 2010</p>
+<p><b>Teiid Designer</b>, which is new to JBoss Tools,
+is a visual tool that enables rapid, model-driven definition, integration, management and
testing of data services without programming using the <b>Teiid</b> runtime
framework.</p>
+<p>Below is simple introduction to the tool and a summary of a few basic
concepts.</p>
+<p>For more details on <a
href="http://www.jboss.org/teiid.html">Teiid</a> and <a

+ <p><b>Designer "modeling"
Perspective</b></p></td>
+ <td valign="top">
+ <p>The Teiid Designer perspective provides a modeling-centric
+ explorer designed to aid in creating/editing and managing models (XMI/EMF-based)
and
+ Virtual Databases (VDBs). When deployed to Teiid server, these VDB's are
treated like
+ any other JDBC data source and queried.</p>
+ <p><img src="images/designer-perspective.png" alt="Teiid
Designer Perspective"/></p>
+ <p>If you've been following Teiid Designer since 7.0 development
you'll know that the 7.1 version
+ reflects major changes to both Preview Data functionality and VDB editing and VDB
execution. These features
+ are now tied to standard application deployment technology through the Teiid
Admin API.
+ In Designer, the Teiid view is a window to view the contents of deployed Teiid
artifacts, namely Data Sources and
+ Virtual Databases (VDB's).</p>
+ <p>A <strong>model</strong> is a representation of a set of
information constructs.
+ A familiar <strong>model</strong> is the
<strong>relational</strong> <strong>model</strong>, which
+ defines tables composed of columns and containing records of data. Another
+ familiar model is the <strong>XML</strong>
<strong>model</strong>, which defines hierarchical data sets. </p>
+ <p>In <strong>Teiid Designer</strong>, models are used to define
the entities, and relationships between those
+ entities, required to fully define the integration of information sets so that they
may be accessed in a uniform manner,
+ using a single API and access protocol. The file extension used for these models is
'<strong>.xmi</strong>'
+ ( Example: NorthwindOracle.xmi ). </p>
+ <p>Below is an example of the partial contents of a model file.</p>
+ <p><img src="images/sample-model-file.png" alt="Sample Model
File" border="1"/></p>
+ <p>The fundamental models in <strong>Teiid Designer</strong> define
the structural and data
+ characteristics of the information contained in data sources. These are referred to
+ as <strong><EM>source</EM></strong> models<span
class="medium"></span>.
+ Teiid uses the information in <strong>source</strong> models to federate
the information
+ in multiple sources, so that from a user's viewpoint these all appear to be in a
single source.</p>
+ <p>In addition to <strong>source</strong> models, Teiid Designer
provides the ability to
+ define a variety of <em><strong>view</strong></em>
models<span class="medium"></span>. These can be used to define
+ a layer of abstraction above the physical (or <strong>source</strong>)
layer, so that information can
+ be presented to end users and consuming applications in business terms rather than as
it is physically stored.
+ Views are mapped to sources using transformations between models. These
<EM>business views</EM> can be in a
+ variety of forms: </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li><strong>Relational</strong></li>
+ <li><strong>XML</strong></li>
+ <li><strong>XML Service</strong></li>
+ <li><strong>Web services</strong></li>
+ <li><strong>Relationship </strong></li>
+ <li><strong>Extension</strong></li>
+ <li><strong>Function </strong></li>
+ <li><strong>Uml 2.0 </strong></li>
+ </ul>

+ <td valign="top" align="left">
+ <p><b>The Virtual Database (VDB)</b></p></td>
+ <td valign="top">
+ <p>A <strong>VDB</strong>, or <strong>Virtual
Database</strong> is a container for your models and pertinent source connection
data used by
+ Teiid query engine to access your federated data.</p>
+ <p>Teiid Designer allows you to create and edit VDBs. The VDB is a zip-like
file that contains sources
+ and view models, source connection information and index files used at runtime
for data identification
+ and a manifest to pull it all together. </p>
+ <p>VDBs contain two primary varieties of model types - source and view.
Source models represent the structure
+ and characteristics of physical data sources, whereas view models represent the
structure and characteristics
+ of abstract structures you want to expose to your applications.</p>
+ <p>Each source model must contain connectivity information in order for the
<strong>Teiid</strong> engine understand which
+ connection factory/data source instance to connect with. In particular, a
"<strong>Translator</strong>" name and an existing
+ "<strong>JNDI</strong>" name must be defined.</p>
+ <p>After a VDB is defined, it must be deployed to the
<strong>Teiid</strong> query engine to be accessed. You can select a
+ VDB in your Model Explorer and right-click select "<strong>Modeling
> Deploy VDB</strong>" action or drag the VDB onto an
+ existing server connected in your <strong>Teiid</strong> view.

+ <p><strong>Teiid Designer 7.1</strong> offers a JDBC
Connection Profile contribution through the DTP extension point. The properties for
+ this connection include standard JDBC inputs including URL, host, port,
user-name and password.</p>
+ <p>Through this connection, you can perform standard SQL queries. The
nature of Teiid VDB's allows complex, multi-source
+ modeling and data transformation, so you can design views targeted for your
front-end applications and simplify or reduce
+ the work necessary to pull all that data together.</p>

+ <p><strong>Teiid Designer 7.1</strong> supports generation of
deployable web service War Files.
+ For VDB's that contain web service models, there is a contextual menu
+option to generate a JBossWS-CXF war. This generated war can be deployed to
+a JBossAS server with CXF enabled. The wizard will ask for a war context name,
+target namespace, JNDI name for the deployed Teiid VDB, and location to generate
+the war file. Once deployed, the wsdl can be obtained via
<b><i>http://host:port/warContextName?wsdl</i></b></p>
