Build and Package the Adapter

Once all the required code is developed, it is time to package them into a RAR artifact, that can be deployed into a Conainer. A RAR artifact is lot more similar to a WAR. To put together a RAR file it really depends upon build system you are using.

Eclipse: You can start out with building Java Connector project, it will produce the RAR file

Ant: If you are using "ant" build tool, there is "rar" build task available

Maven: If you are using maven, use <packaging> element value as "rar". Teiid uses maven, you can look at any of the "connector" projects for sample "pom.xml" file. Here is sample pom.xml file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/maven-v4_0_0.xsd" 
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
   <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
   <artifactId>connector-{name}</artifactId>
   <groupId>org.company.project</groupId>
   <name>Name Connector</name>
   <packaging>rar</packaging>
   <description>This connector is a sample</description>

   <dependencies>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.jboss.teiid</groupId>
         <artifactId>teiid-api</artifactId>
         <scope>provided</scope>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>org.jboss.teiid</groupId>
         <artifactId>teiid-common-core</artifactId>
         <scope>provided</scope>
      </dependency>
      <dependency>
         <groupId>javax.resource</groupId>
         <artifactId>connector-api</artifactId>
         <scope>provided</scope>
      </dependency>
   </dependencies>

</project>

Make sure that the RAR file, under its "META-INF" directory has the "ra.xml" file. If you are using maven refer to http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-rar-plugin/. In the root of the RAR file, you can embed the JAR file containing your connector code and any dependent library JAR files.
