This appendix describes Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and XML schemas for Deployment Descriptors from previous versions of the Java™ EE and Jakarta™ EE specifications. All Jakarta EE 9 products are required to support the DTDs and schemas specified by Jakarta EE 8, as well as the schemas specified in this version of the specification. This ensures that applications written to the previous version of the Jakarta EE specification can be deployed on products supporting the current version of this specification. Support for versions of DTDs and schemas prior to Jakarta EE 8 is optional. In addition, there are no restrictions on mixing versions of supported deployment descriptors in a single application; any combination of valid deployment descriptor versions must be supported.
Reference this page, https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee/#11, for the schema definitions defined for Jakarta EE 11.
Reference this page, https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee/#10, for the schema definitions defined for Jakarta EE 10.
A new namespace has been specified for Jakarta EE 9, https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee/. Reference this page, https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee/#9, for the schema definitions defined for Jakarta EE 9.
No updates to the schemas defined in previous releases of Java EE were required for Java EE 8 or Jakarta EE 8. Reference this page, https://jakarta.ee/xml/ns/jakartaee/#8, for the schema definitions defined for Java EE 8 and Jakarta EE 8.
The XML grammar for a Java EE 7 application deployment descriptor is defined by the Java EE 7 application schema. The root element of the deployment descriptor for a Java EE application is application . The granularity of composition for Java EE application assembly is the Java EE module. A Java EE application deployment descriptor contains a name and description for the application and the URI of a UI icon for the application, as well a list of the Java EE modules that comprise the application. The content of the XML elements is in general case sensitive. This means, for example, that <role-name>Manager</role-name> is a different role than <role-name>manager</role-name> .
All valid Java EE 7 application deployment descriptors must conform to the XML Schema definition, or the DTD or schema definition from a previous version of this specification. The deployment descriptor must be named META-INF/application.xml in the .ear file. Note that this name is case-sensitive.
