1. Introduction

This document lists the document formats that will be used by the Java 2
Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) deployment descriptors described by J2EE 1.4
and later specifications. Prior to the J2EE 1.4 specifications, each Deployment
Descriptor must be valid with respect to a specific DTD that describes the
Deployment Descriptor. They are found in the J2EE section of this document.
Starting with the J2EE 1.4 specification, each specification requires its
Deployment Descriptor be validated with respect to an XML Schema that is listed
by this document. Note that deployment descriptors defined by previous versions
of the J2EE specification must also be supported, and must continue to be
validated against the corresponding DTD.

This document describes how to use the J2EE schemas that are described as a set
of modules and provides a list of XML Schemas for each deployment descriptor.

2. Using J2EE Schemas

All J2EE Deployment Descriptor Schemas share the namespace,
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/jsc/xml/ns/javaee/index.html. Each
schema document contains a version attribute that contains the version of the
specification. For example, the XML Schema document for the Servlet
specification contains the version attribute value "2.4", pertaining to the
specific version of the specification as well as the schema document itself.

Each J2EE XML Schema document's file name contains the specific version of the
related specification. This is introduced for convenience to locate specific
versions of the schema documents. However, Deployment Descriptor instances are
not required to refer to a specific file. Instead, an instance must specify the
version of the corresponding specification by using a version attribute. For
example, connector Deployment Descriptor instances that must be processed with
the Connector 1.5 version must indicate the version within the version attribute
of the instance document, for example, "1.5". The Deployment Descriptor
processors use the version information to choose the appropriate version of the
schema document(s) to process the Deployment Descriptor instances.

A specific version of the J2EE specification contains a set of deployment
descriptor schemas that constitute the J2EE Schema. The common definitions are
contained in the j2ee_<version>.xsd document that may be included by several
J2EE Deployment Descriptor schemas.

3. J2EE 1.4 Schema Resources
