Draft

The feature APSFOUND-73 for Liberty (https://github.com/OpenLiberty/open-liberty/issues/7918) basically implements the following information from tWAS documentation:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_9.0.5/com.ibm.websphere.base.doc/ae/cejb_bindingsejbfp.html

So, the link above from tWAS should be used as the starting point for nearly identical documenation for liberty linked off the following Liberty doc : https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEQTP_liberty/com.ibm.websphere.wlp.doc/ae/twlp_ejb_dev.html

The following changes should be made to the tWAS version of the doc for Liberty:

Remove 1st sentence of 2nd paragraph:

Starting in Version 8.0, bindings support in the EJB container is expanded.

Remove the entire section with the following heading:

Naming considerations in clustered and cross-server environments

Remove the information about :

Extensions defined in META-INF/ibm-ejb-jar-ext-pme.xml file

i.e. includes the removal of Table 8.

From my discussion with Tracy, the topic will be in Open Liberty even though this issue discusses the placement of the new topic in the KC TOC. I indicated to Tracy that he should ensure that his blog post has enough info/examples in it for users to use the new function until the topic is written.
