Full description of "resource-adapter"

[rareddy]

Hi,

Currently when I issue the the following command in CLI

[standalone@localhost:9999 /] /subsystem=resource-adapters/resource-adapter=teiid-connector-ws.rar:read-resource-description

The properties described are the only properties that are generic to any RAR file. For Teiid tooling to create "connection-factory" we need to expose the properties inside "ra.xml" that are defined using "config-property".

In AS 5.1.0 based Teiid, we read these properties through JMX beans and exposed them through our Admin API. In AS7 based Teiid I would like to see if we can get by doing the above CLI command, such that we do not use hacks as before. Also we are opting use ModelController for admin stuff.

This is a *must* have feature for Teiid tooling to work. Can you guys suggest any alternatives? I am willing to contribute code with some guidance, if this is acceptable.

I am similar issue with [xa]data-source stuff too..

Thanks.

Ramesh..

Note that same needs to be done on the data sources side. Since the module system now knows the driver name though service loader mechanism and user can define the xa-datasource name, you can ask the JDBC driver what properties it exposes to fully configure the datasource. If those can be slurped automatically for the deployed drivers, it will be very helpful for any tools being built on top in createing the data sources.

Taking a closer look at the https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-1381 it does not specify the description part of the issue. it only describes about the adding/modifying of the properties, not what those properties are. This may require couple different JIRA of its own.

one for exposing the properties in the ra.xml

one for exposing the properties in Driver/Datasource class.
