Deployment Descriptor: The term could be used generically to describe any file, e.g. Java Web Start JNLP that specifies all the pieces of a deployment. However, it normally refers to the XML file that controls a J2EE EJB deployment. It tells the EJB server which classes make up the bean implementation, the home interface and the remote interface. If there is more than one EJB in the package, it indicates also how the EJBs interact with one another.
