    ****************************************************************
    The Resource Adapter is supposed to return a Array of
    supported InteractionSpec types for the Resource Adapter , but
    returns a Null when  getInteractionSpecsSupported() is invoked
    on the Resource Adapter.
    This results in the following NullPointerException :

    InteractionSpecsSupported is not present we insert string "Not
    Available" into the Metadata.
