Starting with 7.0.M3 (soon to be released) Teiid needs to be installed in JBoss AS. We support the standalone Teiid server using the JBoss AS as the host environment. For a end user, it should be no different from before after the installation. You would still be able to connect through JDBC as before to access your VDBS. If you are developing the custom connector, the connectors will be developed as JCA connectors. From Teiid standpoint the Connector API itself modified slightly to fit into JCA, Teiid provides the rest of the implementation for the JCA hooks. The packaging and configuration for the connector is changed completely from before. Teiid will use RAR files like any other JCA connector. Take look at the code for one of supplied connectors in Teiid's svn for a sample. There are numerous reasons for the shift, you can read them on Teiid's blog. Please let us know about your concerns, we will try to answer any questions your may have. Thanks. Ramesh..
