The Geronimo deployment plan for an enterprise application is an XML document. It is defined by the geronimo-application-1.2.xsd schema, which can be found in the schema/ subdirectory of the main Geronimo installation directory. The deployment plan for an enterprise application can be included in the application EAR, in which case it should be named META-INF/geronimo-application.xml or saved as a separate file and provided to the deploy tool when the application is deployed
...
META-INF/geronimo-application.xml
...
The attributes are defined below

3.2 Sample Code for the Configuring modules*
This sample has been taken from the user guide, Sample application.http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC11/jms-and-mdb-sample-application.html.This is a sample deployment plan for A context root for web application module with a ejb application.
...
In this case, the EJB deployment plan is stored inside the EAR and it is compressed with Order.jar inside META-INF/openejb.xml and ejb-jar.xml . The Web application deployment plan is actually right there inside the EAR deployment plan,compressed with Orderweb.war/WEB-INF/web.xml and geronimo-web.xml.Also the EAR deployment plans both are directly stored right in side the Order.ear/META-INF/application.xml and geronimo-application.xml

3.3 Sample code for Adding a new module
...
Therefore addition to configuring modules listed in application.xml, the Geronimo plan can add references to new modules, either in the EAR or located in the Geronimo repository.
...
geronimo-application.xml and application.xml define the main components of the EAR. Both EJB component and Web archive information are given in these files. Additionally, these two XML files define application scoped database connection pool with tranql-connector-1.2.rar and BankPool.xml.
