My take on figure 5.4 is as follows:
1)An individual (the resource adapter deployer) configures the ra.xml deployment descriptor.
2) The individual deploys the configured resource adapter in the application server. The deployment can be done using a deployment tool or by some other means supported by the application server.
3) The application server bootstraps the configured resource adapter. Section 5.3.1 defines bootstrapping as follows:
In order to bootstrap a resource adapter instance, the application server must
use the configured ResourceAdapter JavaBean and call its start method. The
start method call is a startup notification from the application server, and this
method is called by an application server thread.
But I can be wrong about this – it's happened before.

Thanks for your help.
