Just for completeness: The DD ist always created by the Bean developer and can be
modified by the deployer.
A deployment descriptor has two parts:
-> The part containing stuctural information: <enterprise-bean>. This is
rarely modified by the deployer (although tags like <ejb-link> or
<env-entry-value> are).
-> The part containing behavioral information: <assembly-descriptor>. This is
rarely provided by the bean developer. It is created and modified by deployers
(and more precisely the application assembler).
