Questions:

- Can I set the jndi name at the bean level?
The reason I ask this is because of this scenario:
Organisation X decides to set the JNDI name format to
{deploymentId}{interfaceType.annotationName} at the EJB-JAR level.
They create around 20 EJB's and then decide to change the format to
lets say {moduleId}{deploymentId}{interfaceType.annotationName} for
all future EJB's. But they already have clients which lookup EJB's
using the {deploymentId}{interfaceType.annotationName} format and do
not want to break those clients (to keep backward compatibility).

How would somebody achieve the above with newer beans being added to
an existing ejb-jar?

- Can I set the jndi name explicitly without specifying the format?
i.e. is there a place where I can say that EJB FooBean has a JNDI name
of ejb/LosAngeles/CA/USA instead of using a combination of pre-defined
variables in the JndiBuilder.getName() method.
