    - #### validate

          void validate()
                        throws InvalidPropertyException

      This method may be called by a deployment tool to validate the overall activation configuration information provided by the endpoint deployer. This helps to catch activation configuration errors earlier on without having to wait until endpoint activation time for configuration validation. The implementation of this self-validation check behavior is optional. Note: Since Java EE Connector 1.6 specification, resource adapter implementations are recommended to use the annotations or the XML validation deployment descriptor facilities defined by the Bean Validation specification to express their validation requirements of its configuration properties to the application server.
      Throws:
        ``InvalidPropertyException`` - indicates invalid configuration property settings.
        `InvalidPropertyException`
