Does the manifest file in META-INF folder has any significance w.r.to. deployment ? I could not get where it is being used. When WAR/EAR is creted this would be automatically created by the build tool ? Please explain in detail.
Manifest is the link point between enterprize tiers, eg. if your EAR is made up of 3 WAR and 2 JAR, then that dependencey is written in Manifest. it is extremely critical while deployment.

Does the container looks into this file for info regarding any such dependencies ? Who creates this file ?
