<application-client> Root element

The application-client element is the root element of an application client deployment descriptor. The application client deployment descriptor describes the EJB components and external resources referenced by the application client.

Element's model:

(icon?, display-name, description?, env-entry*, ejb-ref*, resource-ref*, resource-env-ref*, callback-handler?)


<callback-handler> Child of application-client

The callback-handler element names a class provided by the application. The class must have a no args constructor and must implement the javax.security.auth.callback.CallbackHandler interface. The class will be instantiated by the application client container and used by the container to collect authentication information from the user.

Used in: application-client

<description> Child of ejb-ref, application-client, env-entry, resource-ref, resource-env-ref

The description element is used to provide text describing the parent element. The description element should include any information that the application client jar file producer wants to provide to the consumer of the application client jar file (i.e., to the Deployer). Typically, the tools used by the application client jar file consumer will display the description when processing the parent element that contains the description.

Used in: application-client, ejb-ref, env-entry, resource-env-ref, resource-ref

<description>'s attributes

The path name is relative to the jar file containing the application client that is referencing the enterprise bean. This allows multiple enterprise beans with the same ejb-name to be uniquely identified.

Used in: ejb-ref

@id Attribute of application-client

The ID mechanism is to allow tools that produce additional deployment information (i.e., information beyond the standard deployment descriptor information) to store the non-standard information in a separate file, and easily refer from these tool-specific files to the information in the standard deployment descriptor.

Tools are not allowed to add the non-standard information into the standard deployment descriptor.
