Using JBoss technologies for ETL

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Data Services (EDS) 5.3.1

Issue

  • Can JBoss technologies be used for Extract/Transform/Load (ETL) applications?
  • For example,
    • Extract data from a relational database like Oracle
    • Transform it into XML as defined by various XSDs
    • Load to a data warehouse using web services
  • I am looking for an ETL file processing feature. Is anything that Data service can provide?

Resolution

  • JBoss Data Services [1], using Teiid technology, has powerful capabilities that may be applicable to ETL

    • It is capable of:

      • generating XML documents from relational database data

      • generating webservices to access that XML
