from section 16.4.1.3 of ejb3.1 specs it says that :
Each env-entry deployment descriptor element describes a single environment entry. The env-entry element consists of an optional description of the environment entry, the environment entry name relative to the
java:comp/env context, the expected Java type of the environment entry value (i.e., the type of the object returned from the EJBContext or JNDI lookup method),
and an optional environment entry value.
how can be the environment entry value be optional ? isn't it the most important part regarding environment entries , that is, to bind a jndi name with a value. what use is a name without a value ? Please help.
Sorry for posting many questions about ENC but I have not been very comfortable with this topic right from the starting.
