this lets you do two things:
1. deploy an unmodified third party adapter without changing the supplied ra.xml
2. deploy several instances of a resource adapter in one deployment unit.
If you leave the config-property-setting elements out, the default values from the ra.xml are (supposed to be) used. I think there's even a test.
I'm not sure if it is implemented yet, but it should be possible at some point to deploy an adapter + geronimo-ra.xml that is not packed into the adapter, so e.g if the rar is signed you could still use it.

Hi Folks,
I'm curious why we've got a resourceadapter-instance/config-property-setting element in geronimo-ra.xml when the j2ee ra.xml has a config-property/config-property-value that's not being used. It seems to me that it would be easier to remove the geronimo-specific element and use the standard one, but I could easily be missing something. If people agree with me then I can work up a patch.
