Avoid using the deprecated resource adapter fields

This rule flags the use of deprecated resource adapter fields. These fields were deprecated in different versions of WebSphere as follows:

Fields deprecated in Version 6.0:

• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.DataStoreHelper.CUSTOM_HELPER
  If you create your own DataStoreHelper implementation class, do not invoke setHelperType(DataStoreHelper.CUSTOM_HELPER) . Instead, let the HelperType value be set by the implementation class from which it inherits.
• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.DataStoreHelper.DATADIRECT_HELPER
  use CONNECTJDBC_HELPER or MSSQL_HELPER instead.
• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.DataStoreHelper.SEQUELINK_HELPER
  use CONNECTJDBC_HELPER or MSSQL_HELPER instead.

Fields deprecated in Version 6.1:

• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.DataStoreHelper.CLOUDSCAPE_HELPER
  use DataStoreHelper.DERBY_HELPER instead.
• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.DataStoreHelper.CLOUDSCAPE_NETWORK_SERVER_HELPER
  use DERBY_NETWORK_SERVER_HELPER instead.

Fields deprecated in Version 7.0:

• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSConnection.CLIENT_ACCOUNTING_INFO
• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSConnection.CLIENT_APPLICATION_NAME
• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSConnection.CLIENT_ID
• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSConnection.CLIENT_LOCATION
• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSConnection.CLIENT_OTHER_INFO
• com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.WSConnection.CLIENT_TYPE

Note: the field: com.ibm.websphere.rsadapter.DataStoreHelper.ORACLE_HELPER is handled in a different rule, as this field is already removed from WebSphere Version 8.0
