Type
A drop-down list of all the connectionFactoryInterfaces as defined for the factories in the Resource Adapter Archive.
For each Type, there is a set of properties specified in the Properties box. This set of properties is constructed by retrieving the properties from each connection definition object. For any existing connection factories that are displayed for updating, this list of properties is overlaid with the properties specified for the objects. When the Type field is changed, the properties also change to reflect the correct properties for that type.
