I'm confused... why would folks change the ra.xml... this is supposed

I can't comment why the J2EE spec choose to recommend folks package
the component implementation and configuration together in the same
rar, but in general this problem even applies to J2EE jars.
Is there any reason why the extra resource adapter configuration
properties are not properly defined?
only required properties are required in the xml.
that's not my understanding of the j2ca spec. Do you know of a
javaee app server that only uses the ra.xml and not a vendor plan?
My guess is that many users don't need that extra configuration or
are not using standard J2EE configuration (ie. just using spring
etc).
Um. yes.. but still fail to see why it's a bug. the connector spec
states that you only need to configured required properties via the
RA.xml.. and we have done that.
Again, that's not what I think it says. I think the ra.xml is
supposed to be the description of what you can possibly configure in
the resource adapter, with descriptions and optional default
values. It's the only documentation you should need to produce a
fully configured plan for a resource adapter instance.
The unusual feature of most ra.xmls in comparison to say a web.xml is
that you really need specific info about the instance and can't go by
what a generic ra.xml says, e.g. where is the database you're trying
to talk to? with web apps and ejb apps its usually possible to guess
reasonable defaults.
