It's not possible to deploy single file (*.xml) virtual database through web admin console ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: TEIID-1437 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-1437 Project: Teiid Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Jopr Plugin Affects Versions: 7.2 Reporter: Robert Balent Assignee: Ted Jones Fix For: 7.4 There are two ways how create virtual database. You can deploy *.vdb file which is basically zip archive with changed extension, or deploy just vdb.xml file. The second way doesn't work through soa admin console web interface. Error message: Failed to create Resource weather-vdb.xml - cause: Incorrect extension specified on filename How to reproduce: In soa web interface log in to Admin Console, than open "Virtual Database (VDB)s" link, than click "Add a new resource" button, and try to upload weather-vdb.xml which is attached. Workaround: Just copy weather-vdb.xml to the deploy folder. weather-vdb.xml and weather-ds.xml which is required if you want to deploy vdb in active state are attached.
