This is not stated explicitly, it is my understanding of the spirit of

Can you provide any proof of your statement?

Okay, I'll try to prove my statement.

Nothing is said about setting ejb-link by the Deployer.

Nothing is said about setting ejb-link by the Deployer.

I conclude that the EJB reference declaration may not include the
ejb-link element, and it is not an error (my first statement).
Again, nothing is said about setting ejb-link by the Deployer.
I conclude that ejb-link is an Assembler's mean, and Deployer should
use some vendor-specific means.

It's nice, jboss conform to the specification here, but don't say that
during deployment EJB reference must contain ejb-link.
