/** The interface jakarta.resource.cci.ResourceAdapterMetaData
* provides information about capabilities of a resource adapter
* implementation. Note that this interface does not provide information
* about an EIS instance that is connected through the resource adapter.
*
* A CCI client uses a ConnectionFactory.getMetaData to
* get metadata information about the resource adapter. The
* getMetaData method does not require that an active
* connection to an EIS instance should have been established.
*
*
The ResourceAdapterMetaData can be extended to provide more
* information specific to a resource adapter implementation.
