  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  If a binding or value of an application's environment entry is
  provided through an XML bindings file associated with an
  enterprise application or module, the binding/value is not
  recognized during the deployment of an application. A
  validation message similar to the following is reported even
  though the deployment is successful:
  ADMA0219E: A validation error occurred in task "Map
  environment entries for EJB modules.". The value for
  environment entry java:app/env/ejb-jar/env-entry-integer for
  EJB TestBean in module testejb.jar is missing.
  

Problem conclusion

• A new Java Virtual Machine custom property is provided to
  support the use of bindings to specify a value for an
  environment entry.
  
  com.ibm.websphere.management.application.client.EnvEntry_process
  Bindings
  
  Use this property to specify how an environment entry value is
  handled during an application deployment. If this property is
  not specified or has a value of false, an environment entry
  value is read from and written to the deployment descriptor.
  Any environment entry value specified in the XML bindings is
  ignored. If this property is specified with a value of true,
  an environment entry value specified in the XML bindings is
  preferred over the value specified in the deployment descriptor.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.0.0.2.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
