 * @since J2EE1.4
 * The outbound-resourceadapterType specifies information about
 * an outbound resource adapter. The information includes fully
 * qualified names of classes/interfaces required as part of
 * the connector architecture specified contracts for
 * connection management, level of transaction support
 * provided, one or more authentication mechanisms supported
 * and additional required security permissions.
 * 
 * If there is no authentication-mechanism specified as part of
 * resource adapter element then the resource adapter does not
 * support any standard security authentication mechanisms as
 * part of security contract. The application server ignores
 * the security part of the system contracts in this case.
