Now I am up. What are the questions?
* Should ejb-link default to ejb-ref-name?
Yes, at least it is my understanding of 14.3.2.
More precisely, if ejb-link is not specified, ejb-ref-name is used.
* Can Deployer set ejb-link in order to bind ejb-ref to an appropriate
bean?
No, Deployer should use some vendor-specific way, "...for example,
the JNDI LinkRef mechanism..." or jboss.xml.
At least it is my understanding of 14.3.3.
Best regards,
Oleg
