Teidd Designer Import SOAP Relational Model Mapping No Columns defined ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: TEIIDDES-2487 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-2487 Project: Teiid Designer Issue Type: Enhancement Components: Import/Export Affects Versions: 9.0 Reporter: Kylin Soong Assignee: Ted Jones Fix For: 9.0.4 Attachments: StateService.jar, teiid-designer-ws-1.png, teiid-designer-ws-2.png, teiid-designer-ws-3.png, teiid-designer-ws-4.png issue ==== Create Relational Model from SOAP service validation failed with "No Columns defined error" Reproduce ======== 1. deploy attached StateService to JBoss DV 6.1(assume it DV run on localhost), WSDL File can be viewed via [2] 2. Use attached 4 pics to import SOAP Web Service will reproduce the issue(teiid-designer-ws-3.png and teiid-designer-ws-4.png show validation errors) Enhancement ========== 1. Simplify the import wizard - from a user's perspective, I think the main obstacle is the wizard is too complex, especially SOAP, federation related wizard, it's very difficult to operate without a step by step documents. 2. Simplify XML document modeling related operation - current wizard not user-friendly, web should do some enhancement in request/response xml document modeling. 3. Simplify vdb archive structure - the Designer generated vdb is more complexed compared with dynamic vdb, it have more definition files(sources.xmi, views.xmi, vdb.xml), there also some metamatrix link like [2] exist in .xmi, actually these links not really exist, if we remove these kinds of things, the designer wizard logic may be more easier.
