It isn't necessary. There are defaults for everything. The defaults are unlikely to be the best options for all your beans.

Your jndi names must be unique. You have Partner twice. JBoss uses <ejb-name> when you don't specify a <jndi-name> in jboss.xml. > I wouldn't have put jboss.xml into the jar except that I'm trying to > figure out why my session beans are being found in JNDI, but my entity > beans are not. You probably have an ejb-name that isn't a valid java name. The spec requires this extra restriction for entity beans because it might be used as the table. e.g. ejbs/MyEntity is not valid Or maybe you have some other problem with the db mappings?

To change the db mappings and other persistence engine configurations.
