Description

The following used to work fine:

EjbRef ref = new EjbRef();
SessionBean.getEjbRef().add(ref);

Now the following is required:

EjbRef ref = new EjbRef();
ref.setEjbRefName(<name>);
SessionBean.getEjbRef().add(ref);

because the reference name is used as a key in the KeyedCollection. If the reference name is not set first, a reference is added to the KeyedCollection with a null key. And if there are multiple references added this way, only the last one will be in the map.

Maybe somekind of an exception should be thrown or a warning logged if a null key is used so that it would be easier to find problems like this?
