Hi all,

(if this is the wrong forum for this kind of question, please point me to the right one)

teiid-quickstarts/webservices-as-a-datasource/README.adoc contains a step-by-step instruction on how to set up the demo webservice integration. Everything is fine until the last step; the README states:

Open the admin console(http://localhost:9990/console) to make sure the VDB is deployed. See <<Query Demonstrations, Query Demonstrations>> below to demonstrate query.

 

== Query Demonstrations

 

==== Using the simpleclient example ====

 

1.  Change your working directory to "${quickstart.install.dir}/simpleclient"

2.  Use the simpleclient example to run the following queries:

 

Example: mvn exec:java -Dvdb="portfolio" -Dsql="example query" -Dusername="xx" -Dpassword="xx"

 

NOTE: depending on your OS/Shell the quoting/escaping required to run the example can be complicated. It would be better to install a Java client, such as SQuirreL, to run the queries below.

In my opinion, crucial information is missing - what example queries / query demonstrations can I run now? Where are the "queries below" (that line is the last one in the file) ?

(Version: latest from Github, updated 2018-06-19)

UPDATE:

The vdb specifier is wrong - it should be webservice instead of portfolio.

Example for a working query:

mvn exec:java -Dvdb="webservice" -Dsql="select * from CustomersView" -Dusername="xx" -Dpassword="xx"

(then name of the vdb and the view can be obtained by checking the contents of webservice-vdb.xml)

Should I create an issue in JIRA for this?

Kind regards,

Frank
