EJB deployment descriptor

Deployment descriptor is the file which tells the EJB server that which classes make up the bean implementation, the home interface and the remote interface. it also indicates the behavior of one EJB with other. The deployment descriptor is generally called as ejb-jar.xml and is in the directory META-INF of the client application. In the example given below our application consists of single EJB .Here the node
