> Could a sort of "connection test" be implemented to verify if a "connection definition" specified for a resource adapter (eg: file, google, etc) is working, and can "connect" to the resource it's supposedly pointing to?
> Data sources(jdbc) already have this kind of test, and it is quite useful to test if there's any error in their connection definition.
> With resource adapters, one must define connection definitions, but it is not possible to test them, independently from later requests/queries (eg: reading data from .csv or .xls files, or oauth web services): one has to build all the chain and really try to get data from the source, using the vdb, hoping everything is correctly defined...
> Recently I am struggling with a custom rest oauth2 RA, and I need to define
> - security domain (with client id/secret, tokens, auth uri)
> - RA using that domain
> - a connection definition for the RA accessing the remote data source
> - a VDB using the connection definition
> - a client using the VDB to try get data in sql form
> any step could be wrong, but only the last allows to check if the whole chain is working, or not.
> For any error or failure, regular users (like me) can't do anything else than double check everything... a "test connection" button, for the connection definition, would do wonders to simplify setup debug...
