Deployment error with empty relation-nam

SourceForge Submitter: jboynes .
Sun's PetStore 1.3.1 application contains empty
ejb-relation-name entries such as:

<ejb-relation>
<ejb-relation-name></ejb-relation-name>
...
</ejb-relation>

Presumably this deploys fine on the reference
implementation. However, JBoss returns an error saying
that the ejb-relation-name must be unique.

According to the EJB2.0 spec: "The ejb-relation-name
element provides a unique name for a relationship." In
EJB2.1 this is expanded to "The name of the
relationship, if specified, is unique within the
ejb-jar file." Note the "if specified"

IMHO the spec isn't very precise here but, for
compatibility with the RI and PetStore, JBoss should
treat empty ejb-relation-name elements as if they were
not specified.
