DTP ODA Consumer Helper Driver Bridge
Identifier:
org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.consumer.driverBridge
Since:
3.0
Description:
This ODA consumer helper component's extension point supports the use of a custom ODA driver bridge. An extension would specify a run-time driver bridge that extends the consumer helper, and/or servers as an adapter to underlying data provider objects that do not implement the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda interfaces.

Defines the custom driver bridge for a type of driver.
- driverType - The type of an underlying data driver for which an ODA driver bridge is applied. It can be either the interface name or class name of the driver. A bridge defined for a driver class takes precedence over those defined for a driver's interface(s).
- bridgeId - The ODA data source element id of the driver bridge extension that adapts the ODA runtime interfaces for a data driver, and implements the ODA data source extension point org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda.dataSource.
Its driver bridge extension's driverClass is the concrete class that serves as the custom bridge's entry point.
API Information:
The driver bridge must implement the runtime interfaces defined in the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity.oda package. See the package's JavaDoc documentation and API interfaces for more information.
