29  * A J2EE component module consists of one or more deployment
30  * descriptor files and zero or more non-deployment descriptor
31  * XML instance documents. A module must contain a component-specific
32  * deployment descriptor file (see the component specification for
33  * details). It may contain one or more secondary deployment descriptor
34  * files that define extra functionality on the component and zero or more
35  * non-deployment descriptor XML instance documents (see the Web Services
36  * specification).
37  *
38  * <p>
39  * The DConfigBeanRoot object is a deployment configuration bean
40  * (DConfigBean) that is associated with the root of the component's
41  * deployment descriptor. It must be created by calling the
42  * DeploymentConfiguration.getDConfigBean(DDBeanRoot) method, where
43  * DDBeanRoot represents the component's deployment descriptor.
44  *
45  * <p>
46  * A DConfigBean object is associated with a deployment descriptor
47  * that extends a component's functionality. It must be created by
48  * calling the DConfigBeanRoot.getDConfigBean(DDBeanRoot) method. This
49  * DConfigBean object is a child of the compontent's DConfigBeanRoot
50  * object. The DDBeanRoot argument represents the secondary deployment
51  * descriptor. Deployment descriptor files such as webservice.xml and
52  * webserviceclient.xml are examples of secondary deployment descriptor
53  * files.
54  *
55  * <p>
56  * The server plugin must request a DDBeanRoot object for any non-deployment
57  * descriptor XML instance document data it requires. The plugin must
58  * call method DeployableObject.getDDBeanRoot(String) where String is the
59  * full path name from the root of the module to the file to be represented.
60  * A WSDL file is an example of a non-deployment descriptor XML instance
61  * document.
