Helo,

I was going thru the second chapter of scea 5 guide by MZ and got stuck at a point which says that a JEE Application can have a DD as optional one. Could any one be so kind to help me knowing how this is optional and where do we then mention about the description of the functional components.

Thanks a lot for letting me know.

Regards.

DD is optional because of Annotations. Using annotations you can specify things like Transaction type, Resource/JNDI mapping, etc in your code and so no need to bother about specifying it in DD. In case it is required to override during deployment/production you can always do it in DD.

Also DD overrides the annotations. That means the final say is what is in DD. If DD is not there than annotations are taken into effect.
