Fault policy and jca.retry.count in 11g

Question

I have a composite which has the architecture as follows :
Adapter (File) -- Mediator -- Adapter (FTP)
The mediator follows sequential routing pattern
I have configured jta.retry.count = 3 for the FTP adapter.
Also the composite refers to the fault policy file from the MDS
In the fault policy file the ora retry action is defined as follows :
< Action id="ora-retry">
<retry>
<retryCount>1</retryCount>
<retryInterval>5</retryInterval>
<retryFailureAction ref="ora-rethrow-fault"/>
</retry>
</Action>
We have configured the following rejection handler for the file adapter :
<faultName xmlns:rjm="http://schemas.oracle.com/sca/rejectedmessages"
name="rjm:FILE_RD_B2BOutFolder_Files">
<condition>
<action ref="ora-ws"/>
</condition>
</faultName>
We get the following message as part of rejection message email notification :
The adapter has exceeded maximum configured retries. The adapter has exceeded maximum configured retries. The adapter was unable to process "{0}" after having retried for {1} times, now the adapter will reject the message. This exception usually comes due to errors in downstream systems. Please increase the value for "jca.retry.maxRetries" in composite.xml for the inbound service and redeploy.
I have the following doubts:
1. When the FTP adapter fails because of a remote fault, which retry will be executed fault policy or jta.retry.count ?
2. If the jta.retry.count is executed then can I see 3 instances on the EM console or any other entry in the Log file.
3. where can i configure jca.retry.maxretries property. this property is not available on emconsole.

Hi,
Section 12.4.4 and 12.4.5 should answer your questions.
