In case of MDBs with a JMS listener, that jndi-name tag is used to
specify the queue or topic name in your environment.
For the other EJBs it is used to denote the name to use to bind the
bean's remote (business) interface in the JNDI directory.
Note that MDBs do not have a business interface: clients will not try to
look it up, so MDBs do not need their name bound in the JNDI directory.
So depending on the bean type this tag is used for different purposes.
