Re: [teiid-dev] Fwd: [teiid-designer-dev] Connection Factories
agree, this does not make sense other than the relational sources using
DTP. Designer can use Teiid to create the CF and DS for the source and
keep a copy of all the "-ds.xml" locally *if* needed by exporting them
back from Teiid.

framework use the ConnectionProfile I would have to implement the
getting of the metadata for DTP, and the mapping of the query API to
DTP, etc. It's a lot of work with no real value for us, and if we
didn't do 'all' the work, it would be confusing for a knowledgeable
user of DTP.
2. Some of import sources don't have a connection. XML to Relational
and SOAP relational don't have to get their metadata from a
'connection' at all. As often as not the metadata comes from a file
on disk, and the connector points elsewhere.
This doesn't mean that the importer or some other action can't produce
the info needed for the ~ds.xml.
