Is abstract-schema-name Mandatory

[Mohammed Eesa]

Is <abstract-schema-name> deployment descriptor element in the ejb-jar file is mandatory.In Ed Roman it is specified as optional.

Yes its optional.

I expect it is something to do with BMP. With BMP the programmer specifies all persistence in the bean code, therefore persistent elements in the DD are not needed.

Hi,

spec p.469:

the optional abstract-schema-name element must be specified for an entity bean with contzainer-managed persistence and cmp-version 2.x

So, it's optional but in a certain sense, depending of which kind of persistence you use...

Regards,
Cyril.
