Changing Application Behavior without Changing Code

* [[JPA Concepts]]
The possibility to change an application's behavior without changing code is a core concern in JEE. The entire Chapter 5 in the [[JEE#jsr_316|JEE specifications]] is dedicated to it.
 
The essential mechanism than makes this possible is the ''application component environment'', also known as ''enterprise naming context'' or ''ENC''. ENC is a JNDI naming context, accessible to and private for each application component.
 
The application code uses ENC ''named entries'' to refer to configuration values and external resources. The names of those elements do not change in the code, and those names are mapped to deployment environment specific values and resources during deployment. The use of ''deployment descriptors'' is essential part of the mapping. The deployment descriptors act as a layer of indirection between code and the deployment environment, and provide the mappings mentioned above. The code does not change, but the deployment descriptors do.
