 * 
 * 	  The persistence-unit-ref element contains a declaration
 * 	  of Deployment Component's reference to a persistence unit
 * 	  associated within a Deployment Component's
 * 	  environment. It consists of:
 * 
 * 		  - an optional description
 * 		  - the persistence unit reference name
 * 		  - an optional persistence unit name.  If not specified,
 *                     the default persistence unit is assumed.
 * 		  - optional injection targets
 * 
 * 	  Examples:
 * 
 *             &lt;persistence-unit-ref&gt;
 *               &lt;persistence-unit-ref-name&gt;myPersistenceUnit
 *               &lt;/persistence-unit-ref-name&gt;
 *             &lt;/persistence-unit-ref&gt;
 * 
 *             &lt;persistence-unit-ref&gt;
 *               &lt;persistence-unit-ref-name&gt;myPersistenceUnit
 *                 &lt;/persistence-unit-ref-name&gt;
 *               &lt;persistence-unit-name&gt;PersistenceUnit1
 *                 &lt;/persistence-unit-name&gt;

	 *             unit separated from the pathname by #. The pathname is

	 *             In this manner, multiple persistence units with the same
	 *             persistence unit name may be uniquely identified when the
