[teiid-designer-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (TEIIDDES-2080) Add Excel Datasource Extension metadata properties

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-2080?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Barry LaFond commented on TEIIDDES-2080: ---------------------------------------- Now that we can get Property Definitions from the API... not sure what to do with that data. The application of extension properties to EMF (tags referencing actual objects) objects is pretty straight forward, but there also has to be some mapping between the property definitions and their target EMF object types. * The extension properties coming from the runtime define *owner* objects like: *org.teiid.metadata.Column* * In Designer, these relational objects are defined differently: *org.teiid.designer.metamodels.relational.impl.ColumnImpl* However, without persisting the entire set of property definitions (either in the model on in the Designer workspace) it'd be impossible to re-edit a model and change the extension property values. There has to be a "schema- like- definition somewhere (aka MED) that is the frame of reference to make this possible. So Designer options would be to create another type of MED OR somehow convert the runtime ext. properties into a MED. In order for these property definitions to be exposed by Teiid runtime, they have to be defined statically somewhere in Teiid. Still don't know why a MED can't be used in Teiiid and Designer? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
