public class MethodType
extends java.lang.Object
```
The methodType is used to denote a method of an enterprise bean's business, home, component, and/or web service endpoint interface, or, in the case of a message-driven bean, the bean's message listener method, or a set of such methods. The ejb-name element must be the name of one of the enterprise beans declared in the deployment descriptor; the optional method-intf element allows to distinguish between a method with the same signature that is multiply defined across the business, home, component, and/or web service endpoint nterfaces; the method-name element specifies the method name; and the optional method-params elements identify a single method among multiple methods with an overloaded method name. There are three possible styles of using methodType element within a method element: 1. EJBNAME * This style is used to refer to all the methods of the specified enterprise bean's business, home, component, and/or web service endpoint interfaces. 2. EJBNAME METHOD This style is used to refer to the specified method of the specified enterprise bean. If there are multiple methods with the same overloaded name, the element of this style refers to all the methods with the overloaded name. 3. EJBNAME METHOD PARAM-1 PARAM-2 ... PARAM-n This style is used to refer to a single method within a set of methods with an overloaded name. PARAM-1 through PARAM-n are the fully-qualified Java types of the method's input parameters (if the method has no input arguments, the method-params element contains no method-param elements). Arrays are specified by the array element's type, followed by one or more pair of square brackets (e.g. int[][]). If there are multiple methods with the same overloaded name, this style refers to all of the overloaded methods. Examples: Style 1: The following method element refers to all the methods of the EmployeeService bean's business, home, component, and/or web service endpoint interfaces: EmployeeService * Style 2: The following method element refers to all the create methods of the EmployeeService bean's home interface(s). EmployeeService create Style 3: The following method element refers to the create(String firstName, String LastName) method of the EmployeeService bean's home interface(s). EmployeeService create java.lang.String java.lang.String The following example illustrates a Style 3 element with more complex parameter types. The method foobar(char s, int i, int[] iar, mypackage.MyClass mycl, mypackage.MyClass[][] myclaar) would be specified as: EmployeeService foobar char int int[] mypackage.MyClass mypackage.MyClass[][] The optional method-intf element can be used when it becomes necessary to differentiate between a method that is multiply defined across the enterprise bean's business, home, component, and/or web service endpoint interfaces with the same name and signature. However, if the same method is a method of both the local business interface, and the local component interface, the same attribute applies to the method for both interfaces. Likewise, if the same method is a method of both the remote business interface and the remote component interface, the same attribute applies to the method for both interfaces. For example, the method element EmployeeService Remote create java.lang.String java.lang.String can be used to differentiate the create(String, String) method defined in the remote interface from the create(String, String) method defined in the remote home interface, which would be defined as EmployeeService Home create java.lang.String java.lang.String and the create method that is defined in the local home interface which would be defined as EmployeeService LocalHome create java.lang.String java.lang.String The method-intf element can be used with all three Styles of the method element usage. For example, the following method element example could be used to refer to all the methods of the EmployeeService bean's remote home interface and the remote business interface. EmployeeService Home *

public java.util.List<DescriptionType> getDescription()
```
    Gets the value of the description property.
    This accessor method returns a reference to the live list, not a snapshot. Therefore any modification you make to the returned list will be present inside the JAXB object. This is why there is not a set method for the description property.
    For example, to add a new item, do as follows:
```
    getDescription().add(newItem);
 
```
    Objects of the following type(s) are allowed in the list DescriptionType
  - getEjbName
```
public EjbNameType getEjbName()
```
    Gets the value of the ejbName property.
    
    Returns:
    possible object is EjbNameType
  - setEjbName
```
public void setEjbName(EjbNameType value)

```
public java.lang.String getId()
