	Note
	This mapping file is referenced by the easybeans configuration file using the XML namespace : xmlns="http://org.ow2.easybeans.server". Each element configured within this namespace will use the mapping done in the org.ow2.easybeans.server package.

Users can define their own mapping by providing a file in a package. The name of the the file must be easybeans-mapping.xml or element-mapping.xml.

Example: For the element <easybeans xmlns="http://org.ow2.easybeans.server">, the resource searched in the classloader is org/ow2/easybeans/server/easybeans-mapping.xml. And for an element <pool:max>2</pool:max> with xmlns:pool="http://org.ow2.util.pool.impl", the resource searched will be org/ow2/util/pool/impl/easybeans-mapping.xml or org/ow2/util/pool/impl/pool-mapping.xml.

EasyBeans can be configured through other configuration files as it uses a POJO configuration. If done this way, it can be configured using the Spring Framework component or other frameworks/tools.
