13.2. Translators

A translator acts as the bridge between JBoss Data Virtualization and an external system, which is most commonly accessed through a JCA resource adapter. Translators indicate what SQL constructs are supported and what import metadata can be read from particular datasources.
A translator is typically paired with a particular JCA resource adapter. A JCA resource adapter is not needed in instances where features such as pooling, environment dependent configuration management, or advanced security handling are not needed.

Note

See Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization Development Guide: Server Development for more information on developing custom translators and JCA resource adapters.
See the Red Hat JBoss Data Virtualization Administration and Configuration Guide and the examples in EAP_HOME/docs/teiid/datasources for more information about configuring resource adapters.
