Hi James,
Role Name under the <security-role-ref> tag is defined by the Bean Provider whereas the <role-link> is usually defined by the application assembler so, while making ejb-jar.xml file, its not mandatory to fill up the <role-link> tag. Sometime time afterwards, this <role-link> can be added to the DD by Application Assembler.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks
Lalit
