SOA 12c DBAdapter: Error while validating JCA Reference Binding meta data during composite deployment

What you need to do if you are deploying you DBAdapter service and getting the below error:

Error deploying archive sca_SOADBAdapter_rev1.0.jar to partition "default" on
server soa_server1
HTTP error code returned [500]
Error message from server:
There was an error deploying the composite on soa_server1: Deployment Failed:
Error while validating JCA Reference Binding meta data during composite
deployment.: JCA deployment validation errors for 'Adapters/DBReference_db.jca'.

Check server log for more details.
Error deploying archive sca_SOADBAdapter_rev1.0.jar to   partition "default" on server
soa_server1
Deployment cancelled.
----  Deployment incomplete  ----.
Error deploying archive  file deploy/sca_SOADBAdapter_rev1.0.jar
(oracle.tip.tools.ide.fabric.deploy.common.SOARemoteDeployer)

The possible cause for this issue is that the JNDI being used in .jca is unavailable, incorrect or invalid.

Solution - Create or Correct your JNDI.
Also, Check if your JNDI has the correct DataSource configured and the DataSource test is successful.
If all these are good and you still have the same error, open your DBAdapter configuration and check table imports and settings.
