Is there a way to list and instance drivers?

Hello,

how do you instance a driver suited for web services? The package org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.ws is closed (see the manifest).

Is there a way to list the loaded drivers and then use one of them for your data set ui? It would be nice not to create a driver from scratch when it's allready done.

For me, it would be create to get an instance of org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.ws.impl.Driver. Later I would create a data set ui.

Thanks
Carl

You could always check out the source and modify it. You could always change the manifest as well. May be a good idea to log an enhancement request to open it up.

Thank you Jason, 
 
it worked! 
 
Problem: I needed the web service drivers and ui wizard. But the plug-ins have only one export package (org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.ws.api). 
 
Solution: 
 
<ul class='bbcol decimal'><li>Unpack the two jars (org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.ws.*.jar), one is for the driver and one is for the ui (wizards etc).</li><li>Edit the ui manifest and add in "Export-Package:": org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.ws.ui.wizards", in the driver manifest you add to "Export Package": org.eclipse.datatools.enablement.oda.ws.impl</li><li>Recreate the jars with "jar cfm META-INF\MANIFEST.MF plugin.xml plugin.properties META-INF org" (don't forget the directory "icons" in the ui jar).</li><li>Then, backup the two original jars from eclipse\plugin and move your two jars to the folder.Important: Rename your jars to the original names!</li><li>Restart Eclipse and in your plugin, import any packages you need in your plugin.xml editor.</li></ul>

There is also a way to list some of the drivers (don't know which one) with this code: 
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>DriverManager instance = DriverManager.getInstance();
for (DriverInstance driver : instance.getAllDriverInstances()) {
try {
System.out.println("id:" + driver.getId() + ", name:" + driver.getName() +
", class loader:" + driver.getClassLoader() + ", template:" + driver.getTemplate().getName());
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

Properties baseProperties = driver.getPropertySet().getBaseProperties();
for (Object o : baseProperties.keySet()) {
System.out.println("base property:" + o);
}
}</pre>
