Confusion with "java:" prefix in the DataSource from tooling
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: TEIID-1124
URL:
https://jira.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-1124
Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Task
Components: AdminApi, Server
Affects Versions: 7.0
Reporter: Ramesh Reddy
Assignee: Ramesh Reddy
Fix For: 7.0
There is confusion from the tooling side with automatic addition of the "java:"
prefix to the data source name created. Currently in the Admin API
there are 3 methods correspond to data sources
1) createDataSource
2) deleteDataSource
3) getDataSourceNames
Ideally all the methods should be using the consistent names. However, if the names
retrieved from the "getDataSourceNames" used as the JNDI names that will not
work in Teiid runtime as they do have "java:". If the method returns the names
with "java:", the the "delete" will not work and inconsistent with
"create" call. The problem is management object used in the Admin API and data
source object have different discovery names.
Here we could solve by providing another method called "getDataSourceJNDINames"
that has the "java:" prefix on its names, but it will further add to the
confusion.
Even though not ideal, it may be OK and less confusing to resolve the data source name
inside the Teiid engine by automatically adding the "java:" prefix, if the name
does not already contain this prefix. If the data source is not found with prefix, then
Teiid can retry lookup using the original name. Thus it will work both ways.
