From what I saw, it seemed to me that the resource adapter was automatically activated even without the ironjacamar.xml descriptor. I'll have to check it.

Operation to list installed Resource Adapters --------------------------------------------- Key: WFLY-7209 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-7209 Project: WildFly Issue Type: Feature Request Components: JCA Reporter: Guillermo González de Agüero Assignee: Stefano Maestri Fix For: 10.1.0.Final Currently there's no way to list all the installed Resource Adapters. Only configured resource adapters can be queried. However, they are automatically enabled at deployment time. I propose to add a new operation to list installed RAs and their configuration, similar to the one available for JDBC drivers. This would allow HAL to provide a wizard of available options when configuring them. The command would be something like: /subsystem=resource-adapters:installed-resource-adapters-list()
