 * 
 * 
 *         The method-permissionType specifies that one or more
 *         security roles are allowed to invoke one or more enterprise
 *         bean methods. The method-permissionType consists of an
 *         optional description, a list of security role names or an
 *         indicator to state that the method is unchecked for
 *         authorization, and a list of method elements.
 *         
 *         The security roles used in the method-permissionType
 *         must be defined in the security-role elements of the
 *         deployment descriptor, and the methods must be methods
 *         defined in the enterprise bean's business, home, component 
 *         and/or web service endpoint interfaces.
 *
