WebLogic Server Deployment Descriptor Support in GlassFish Server
Each deployment descriptor XML file has a corresponding Document Type Definition (DTD) file, which defines the elements, data, and attributes that the deployment descriptor file can contain. For example, the glassfish-application_6_0-1.dtd file defines the structure of the glassfish-application.xml file. The DTD files for the GlassFish Server deployment descriptors are located in the as-install/lib/dtds directory.
The GlassFish Server deployment descriptor files must be readable and writable by the file owners. In each deployment descriptor file, subelements must be defined in the order in which they are listed under each Subelements heading, unless otherwise noted. For general information about DTD files and XML, see the XML specification at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.
Note - Do not edit the DTD files; their contents change only with new versions of GlassFish Server.
The following table lists the GlassFish Server deployment descriptors and their DTD files.

Note - The sun-application.xml, sun-web.xml, sun-ejb-jar.xml, sun-application-client.xml, and sun-resources.xml deployment descriptors are supported for backward compatibility.
