/**
 * <!-- begin-user-doc -->
 * A representation of the model object '<em><b>Outbound Resource Adapter</b></em>'.
 * <!-- end-user-doc -->
 *
 * <!-- begin-model-doc -->
 * 
 * 
 *         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 any of the outbound resource adapter elements (transaction-support,
 *         authentication-mechanism, reauthentication-support) is specified through
 *         this element or metadata annotations, and no  connection-definition is 
 *         specified as part of this element or through annotations, the 
 *         application server must consider this an error and fail deployment. 
 *         
 *         If there is no authentication-mechanism specified as part of
 *         this element or metadata annotations, 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.
 *         
 *         If there is no transaction-support specified as part of this element 
 *         or metadata annotation, then the application server must consider that 
 *         the resource adapter does not support either the resource manager local 
 *         or JTA transactions and must consider the transaction support as 
 *         NoTransaction. Note that resource adapters may specify the level of 
 *         transaction support to be used at runtime for a ManagedConnectionFactory 
 *         through the TransactionSupport interface.
 *         
 *         If there is no reauthentication-support specified as part of
 *         this element or metadata annotation, then the application server must consider 
 *         that the resource adapter does not support re-authentication of 
 *         ManagedConnections.
