SpringContextResourceAdapter does not fulfill whole JCA 1.5 contract [SPR-9162]

[spring-projects-issues]

Karel Piwko opened SPR-9162 and commented

org.springframework.jca.context.SpringContextResourceAdapter does not fully implement JCA 1.5 specification.

To be more precise, it violates section 5.3.1 of JCA 1.5 specification: "The
application server is allowed to have multiple instances of a ResourceAdapter
JavaBean active simultaneously, in the same JVM, provided the instances are not
equal. Their equality is determined using the equals method, and therefore, the
ResourceAdapter JavaBean is required to implement the equals method."

This leads to deployment failure when JCA archive validation is enabled.
