I am staring at the EJB1.1 Public draft 3, and on page 259 the spec mentioned that: "The ID mechanism is to allow tools that produce additional deployment information (i.e information beyond the stardard EJB deployment descriptor information) to store the non-standard information in a separate file, and easily refer from these tools-specific files to the information in the standard deployment descriptor." Can someone give me more details on how this "...easily refer from these tools-specific files" is done? A quick look through a few XML books are all vague on this. The formal XML way to refer to an unparsed entity (or a parsed entity for that matter if these tool specific files are also in XML format) requires more tags than just a simple ID.
