Supported configurations: For IBM®
extension and binding files, the .xmi or .xml file name
extension is different depending on whether you are using a pre-Java EE 5 application or module or a
Java EE 5 or later application or module. An IBM extension or binding file is named ibm-*-ext.xmi or
ibm-*-bnd.xmi where * is the type of extension or binding file such as
app, application, ejb-jar, or
web. The following conditions apply:
However, a Java EE 5 or later module can exist within an application that includes pre-Java EE 5 files and uses the .xmi file name extension.
The ibm-webservices-ext.xmi, ibm-webservices-bnd.xmi, ibm-webservicesclient-bnd.xmi, ibm-webservicesclient-ext.xmi, and ibm-portlet-ext.xmi files continue to use the .xmi file extensions.
