Description
It would be extra sugar for me if xjb was able to read jboss.xml descriptors:
Indeed, we generate our ejb classes with xdoclet, and use the Util classes provided by it... using the physical lookup (jndi name), and the mapping between ejbname and jndi name is done in the jboss.xml file, also generated by xdoclet.
So it would feel natural to be able to use these util classes - just like we do in our code - in the tests.
Maybe this rings the bell of some bad practice, I'm not quite sure.
Tell me what you think about it, and if it's ok, then i could also look into providing a patch.

Ok, basically, I want to be able to use Util classes generated by xdoclet, so that my tests lookup my beans the same way as actual code does.
These Util classes do a lookup of the Home interface by either of two constants that it defines, COMP_NAME or JNDI_NAME. In our case we generate the util classes so that they use the JNDI_NAME.
public static final String COMP_NAME="java:comp/env/ejb/SomeFacade";
public static final String JNDI_NAME="ejb/somename/SomeFacade";
The mapping between these names is done through the jboss.xml file:
<session>
<ejb-name>SomeFacade</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>ejb/somename/SomeFacade</jndi-name>
<local-jndi-name>ejb/somename/SomeFacadeLocal</local-jndi-name>
<method-attributes>
</method-attributes>
</session>
Actually I've knocked up a bit of code and a test case that make this work, but I'm totally unsure it's valid regarding the rest of xjb's codebase. I must admit i did not get all of the concepts 
(I'll attach it away - but maybe won't have the chance to do so before monday)
Here's a little something I knocked up very quickly.
The archive contains the new parser class and an associated testcase. Also contains a quite useless patch file which is just adding the testcase to the suite and adding a comment
I was confused with comp name, ejb name and jndi name in my post: please read comp name and jndi name... but anyway, either of which i may use doesn't work. The only lookup that works is "ejb/BeanName", while comp. name would be "java:comp/env/ejb/BeanName" and jndi name would be, in my case "ejb/someproject/BeanName".
