Deployment Descriptor XML Schema

This section provides the XML Schema for the EJB 2.1 deployment descriptor. The comments in the XML Schema specify additional requirements for the syntax and semantics that cannot be easily expressed by the XML Schema mechanism.

The content of the XML elements is in general case sensitive (i.e., unless stated otherwise). This means, for example, that

<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>

must be used, rather than:

<transaction-type>container</transaction-type>.

All valid ejb-jar deployment descriptors must conform to the XML Schema definition below or to the DTD definition from a previous version of this specification.

     This is the XML Schema for the EJB 2.1 deployment descriptor.
     The deployment descriptor must be named "META-INF/ejb-jar.xml" in
     the EJB’s jar file. All EJB deployment descriptors must indicate
     the ejb-jar schema by using the J2EE namespace:

     http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
     and by indicating the version of the schema by
     using the version element as shown below:
        
          <ejb-jar xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
            xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
                http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd"
            version="2.1">
            ...
          </ejb-jar>

     The instance documents may indicate the published version of
     the schema using the xsi:schemaLocation attribute for the
     J2EE namespace with the following location:
     http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd

       The transaction-typeType specifies an enterprise bean’s
       transaction management type.
       
       The transaction-type must be one of the two following:
       
       Bean 
       
       Container
