Currently we have standard get- and set- methods, like

@XmlElement(name="outbound-resourceadapter")
public void setOutboundRa(OutboundRaMetaData outboundRa)

{ this.outboundRa = outboundRa; }

public OutboundRaMetaData getOutboundRa() { return outboundRa; }

We should support a JAXB style programming in the RAR module, and thereby creating any objects or lists that doesn't exists in the get-method, like

@XmlElement(name="outbound-resourceadapter")
public void setOutboundRa(OutboundRaMetaData outboundRa) { this.outboundRa = outboundRa; }

public OutboundRaMetaData getOutboundRa()

{ if (outboundRa == null) outboundRa = new OutboundRa(); return outboundRa; }

This will allow an easier merging between the annotation model and the XML model.
