5.joiner t/r
6.union t/r
7.sql t/r
8.source qualifier t/r
9.lookup t/r
10.sequence generator t/r
11.java t/r

13.mapplet input t/r
14.mapplet output t/r
15.xml
16.update strategy
17.aggregate t/t
18.sorted t/r
19.stored procedure t/r
20.transaction control t/r

1.Filter t/r:
-------------
This is of type an active t/r which allows to filter the data based on given
condition.

by default filter properties will always TRUE

a condition is build with the following components:

1.Port
2.Operate
