This type is a class for model objects.

The ejb-refType is used by ejb-ref elements for the declaration of a reference to an enterprise bean's home. The declaration consists of: - an optional description - the EJB reference name used in the code of the Deployment Component that's referencing the enterprise bean - the expected type of the referenced enterprise bean - the expected home and remote interfaces of the referenced enterprise bean - optional ejb-link information, used to specify the referenced enterprise bean

Attributes Summary
name : EString The ejb-ref-name element contains the name of an EJB reference. This is the JNDI name that the servlet code uses to get a reference to the enterprise bean. Example: ejb/Payroll
type : EjbRefType The ejb-ref-type element contains the expected type of the referenced enterprise bean. The ejb-ref-type element must be one of the following: Entity Session
home : EString The home element contains the fully-qualified name of the enterprise bean?s home interface. Example: com.aardvark.payroll.PayrollHome
remote : EString The remote element contains the fully-qualified name of the enterprise bean?s remote interface.
link : EString The ejb-link element is used in the ejb-ref element to specify that an EJB reference is linked to an enterprise bean in the encompassing J2EE Application package. The value of the ejb-link element must be the ejb-name of an enterprise bean in the same J2EE Application package. Example: EmployeeRecord
description : EString @version J2EE1.4 deprecated, becomes descriptions The description element is used by the ejb-jar file producer to provide text describing the parent element. The description element should include any information that the ejb-jar file producer wants to provide to the consumer of the ejb-jar file (i.e. to the Deployer). Typically, the tools used by the ejb-jar file consumer will display the description when processing the parent element.
descriptions : Description * @version J2EE1.4
