    RA configuration and documentation

      I'm documenting our Resource Adapter and there are a few things I'm not sure about.

      AIUI, the RA can be configured at 3 different places:
      - global configuration, mapped to HornetQRAProperties, from ra.xml
      - outbound configuration, mapped to HornetQRAMCFProperties, from *-ds.xml and ra.xml's <outbound-resourceadapter>
      - inbound configurationn, mapped to HornetQActivationSpec, from MDB annotations or DD and ra.xml's <inbound-resourceadapter>
      The 3 classes all extend ConnectionFactoryProperties.
      So far so good.
      - Connector parameters
      Both HornetQRAMCFProperties & HornetQActivationSpec defines the live connector parameters but not HornetQRAProperties...
      I suppose the connector params should go in the base classe ConnectionFactoryProperties instead. right?
      - Backup
      Only HornetQRAMCFProperties can configure backup connector parameters. Is there a reason for that? I'd move the parameters in ConnectionFactoryProperties else.
      - HornetQResourceAdapter
      this class has public accessors for all RA properties. What's their use? Is the AS supposed to automagically call them?  When and how?
      - HornetQActivationSpec (inbound adapter)
      MaxMessage is defined but is not used. What's this parameter for?
      MinSession is defined but not used. I supposed it should be used in HornetQActivation.setup() when creating the sessions.
      What are their default values? in HornetQActivationSpec ctor, we have min=1, max=15 but the getter say both=0 if they're not defined
      (but they're defined in the ctor!)

          Ok

          Yeah that makes sense

          Yes, do that

          Yes, these are set via the global properties in the ra.xml file and we delegate them to HornetQRAProperties which is used when creating the connection

          Max messages can be removed it was used when the RA was using a connection consumer.

          MinSession i dont think we need as we always create max session
