Bean(MDB) deployment descriptor

****************************************************************
The server.xml contains a resource adapter entry for a third
party JMS resource adapter such as ActiveMQ or Solace.

Various problems may be seen in the logs including:
1. Error J2CA8802E in the console or message log.  For example
J2CA8802E: The message endpoint activation failed for resource
adapter activemq-rar-5.11.1 due to exception:
javax.resource.spi.InvalidPropertyException: Invalid settings:
destination is a required field and must be set to the
destination name.

com.ibm.ws.jca.service.EndpointActivationService.createActivatio
nSpec(EndpointActivationService.java:255)

2.  Warning about NullPointerException in the logs, for example
[2/18/16 11:37:13:307 CST] 00000027
com.ibm.ws.jca.internal.BootstrapContextImpl                 W
J2CA8500E: An error occurred while attempting to configure a

nSpec(EndpointActivationService.java:322)

com.ibm.ws.jca.service.EndpointActivationService.activateEndpoin
t(EndpointActivationService.java:514)
...

3.  destination property value on an activation specification
does not match the id or jndiName of an administered object
causes CNTR4015W, for example:
[WARNING ] CNTR4015W: The message endpoint for the
InventoryAdvertiserMDB message-driven bean cannot be activated
because the jcastore/InventoryAdvertiserMDB activation
specification is not available. The message endpoint will not
receive messages until the activation specification becomes
available.

Problem conclusion

The code has been updated to correctly process the destination
property on activation specifications to eliminate errors and
exceptions.

While a destination value on an activation specification can
still be used to cause an administered object to be configured
on the resource adapter by matching the id or jndiName on an
administered object, it is no longer required that the
destination value match the id or jndiName on an administered
object.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix
pack 16.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for
