The manifest file is part of the Jar format, it doesn't have to describe the
content of the jar file when deploying. Regarding the format, it is
specified by the EJB spec 1.1 to be a XML file in a certain format described
by the that spec. I'm not certain that the 1.0 spec obligated the vendors to
use the .ser format but most did use this format (Correct me if I'm wrong).

> When descriptor is providing us the whole information

> It looks very simple that the functionality of both

> You may please tell me that if there will be different
> Manifest files for each Deployment Desriptor or only
> 1 Manifest file for each desriptor in Enterprise Java
> Bean?
> Another Issue related with Deployment Descriptor is
> that Whether Different Vendors use different Format
