• The <moduleId> element is used to provide the configuration name for the EJB JAR application as deployed in the Geronimo server. It contains elements for the groupId, artifactId, version and module type. Module IDs are normally printed with slashes between the four components, such as GroupID/ArtifactID/Version/Type.
  
  
• The <dependencies> element is used to provide the configurations and third party libraries on which the EJB module is dependent upon. These configurations and libraries are made available to the EJB module via the Geronimo classloader hierarchy.
  
  
• The <hidden-classes> element can be used to specify a list of classes which will never be loaded from parent ClassLoaders of this module. For example, if Log4J was listed here, the module would never see Geronimo's copy of Log4J. If the module provided it's own Log4J JAR it would use that, otherwise it would not be able to load Log4J at all.
  
  
• The <non-overridable-classes> element can be used to specify a list of classes which will only be loaded from parent ClassLoaders of this module (never from the module's own ClassLoader). For example, this is used to prevent a EJB application from redefining "javax.servlet", so those classes will always be loaded from the server instead of from the EJB application's own ClassPath.
  
  
• The <inverse-classloading> element can be used to specify that standard classloader delegation is to be reversed for this module.
  
  
• The <suppress-default-environment> element can be used to suppress inheritance of environment by module (i.e., any default environment built by a Geronimo builder when deploying the plan will be suppressed).

An example openejb-jar.xml file is shown below using the <sys:environment> elements element:

<openejb-jar xmlns="http://openejb.apache.org/xml/ns/openejb-jar-2.2"
             xmlns:sys="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/deployment-1.2">

    <sys:environment>
        <sys:moduleId>
            <sys:groupId>default</sys:groupId>
            <sys:artifactId>openejb-jar-1</sys:artifactId>
            <sys:version>2.0</sys:version>
            <sys:type>ear</sys:type>

        </sys:dependencies>
    </sys:environment>
