[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIIDDES-1879?page=com.atlassian.jira.plu... ] Barry LaFond commented on TEIIDDES-1879: ---------------------------------------- So back when we implemented this feature our goal was to provide property definition context to the translator overrides panel (i.e. data type, allowed values, default values, etc). We apparently misunderstood how this all should work and in particular, what data is returned on 2 runtime/admin methods *Admin.getTemplatePropertyDefniitions()* "Get all of the available configuration Properties for the specified connector" *Translator.getProperties()* (AdminObject) "Get the Configuration Properties that defines this process" I now understand that even though Translators and ResourceAdapters are included in the Connector definition, their properties are defined and tracked in different forms. ResourcesAdapter property definitions are defined via XML configuration however Translator property definitions don't really exist. So fundamentally, there isn't a way to ask a Translator for it's property definitions and what Designer will have to work with is: * String properties only (Name/Value pairs) * No way to show/tell the user what Translator properties are available ? I'm assuming that if a user currently changes a "resource adapter" property that the translator will probably ignore it, unless the "key" is a lucky guess. So is there any other recourse for Designer other than to drop the property definitions and work with simple Properties? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
