[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/TEIID-3649?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin... ] Ramesh Reddy commented on TEIID-3649: ------------------------------------- +1 for [~shawkins] comments. Also there is no JCA layer to build this upon. Having a kit or not, does not provide any usability for embedded from community questions we have seen so far, and adding a translator and basic connection using programatically is pretty straight forward. The main idea behind Embedded is to "embed" into a foreign VM, where configuration/source connections, management apis, logging, security etc may have been already defined and Teiid Embedded needs to work with it. IMO, usability can come from - Improve the APIs - Improve the documentation - Improve the examples BTW, my ideas behind the JDBC/ODBC kit using Teiid Embedded for a particular source will completely black box the concepts such VDB, translator, resource-adapter and just provide a single JAR with URL to connect to source, may be simple properties file if needed specific to source. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
