Element alt-dd
diagram element image
description The alt-dd element specifies an optional URI to the post-assembly version of the deployment descriptor file for a particular J2EE module. The URI must specify the full pathname of the deployment descriptor file relative to the application's root directory. If alt-dd is not specified, the deployer must read the deployment descriptor from the default location and file name required by the respective component specification.

Used in: module

attributes id

occurrence
Attribute Datatype Required Values Default Comments
id ID no (default)     The ID mechanism is to allow tools that produce additional deployment information (i.e., information beyond the standard deployment descriptor information) to store the non-standard information in a separate file, and easily refer from these tool-specific files to the information in the standard deployment descriptor. Tools are not allowed to add the non-standard information into the standard deployment descriptor.
