I have a need to bundle the reource adapter as part of my war. I am not able to get this working. Any Idea on what should I do. If I understand your answer correctly the resource adapter is deployed as a separate one. In couple of documentations it is said to put as part of WEB-INF/lib and it will take but when I did that I got an error as
