[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1814?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Paul Richardson commented on TEIIDDES-1814: ------------------------------------------- These dialog is merely a wrapper around the JBoss Server creation dialog box and simply allows the user to modify the JDBC user/password and Teiid display name. Otherwise, the server instance created is exactly the same as that created using the Servers view hyperlink. It was added as a convenience but if it causes that much confusion it can easily be removed. This may be true but you forget that Designer 8.2 also allows connection to Teiid 7.7.x servers. The primary purpose of allowing the up-front connection was addressing this possibility. It does. The JDBC port IS read from the server configuration but as you might imagine, that is only when the parent JBoss server has been started. Values are saved at the end of the session and restored at the beginning of the session. Hard-coded defaults remain to address corner cases, such as when a server is first created and not started. The default selection is important for Teiid Designer not JBoss Tools. For example, the models created by Designer are dependent upon a specific server version. Thus, targeting a specific Teiid Server version is vital for the development of valid models and their correct deployment. Thus, the default option must remain. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
