Extending Pagination from OData Translator to Web Services Translator

Question

I am trying to extend the Web Services translator to have pagination like that of the OData translator, which uses the $top variable to choose the top number of results to choose, and $skip variable to choose how many results to jump over. Even though OData is an extension of Web Services, the latter does not have any pagination. The Web Services translator will be designed to have a more general approach to pagination rather than using the OData specific $top and $skip values. The Web Services translator uses $rows and $page, but the final product should be more generic to integrate with multiple data sources. I am just learning Data Virt and Teiid, and want to make progress on this task.
