Developing Custom Wrappers

Virtual DataPort provides an API to develop custom wrappers to retrieve data from sources that are not supported.

We strongly recommend using the Denodo4E plugin for Eclipse to develop custom wrappers (see the file README in <DENODO_HOME>/tools/denodo4e).

To create a new Custom wrapper, also called Custom data source, extend the Java abstract class AbstractCustomWrapper (com.denodo.vdb.engine.customwrapper). This abstract class provides a default implementation of the interface CustomWrapper (com.denodo.vdb.engine.customwrapper). Do not implement the interface CustomWrapper.

The following sections explain how to extend the AbstractCustomWrapper class.

Virtual DataPort includes a sample custom wrapper that retrieves data from a Salesforce account. This example is at <DENODO_HOME>/samples/vdp/customWrappers. There is a README file in this directory that explains how to compile, install and use this Custom wrapper.
