Custom Data Source Framework API

Web Intelligence Custom Data Source (CDS) Framework is a plug-in framework that facilitates the creation of a data provider on custom data sources that can be consumed by Interactive Analysis Desktop. Both the data source information and data provider behaviour can be pluggable by implementing the core interfaces of the framework. This enables the creation of Web Intelligence data providers on the sources that are not directly implemented or provided by Interactive Analysis Desktop.
