from the 1.1 spec: -----------
14.2.4 Container Provider responsibility The container provider has the following responsibilities: Provide a deployment tool that allows the Deployer to set and modify the values of the enterprise beans environment entries. Implement the java:comp/env environment naming context, and provide it to the enterprise bean instances at runtime. The naming context must include all the environment entries declared by the Bean Provider, with their values supplied in the deployment descriptor or set by the Deployer. The environment naming context must allow the Deployer to create subcontexts if they are needed by an enterprise bean. The Container must ensure that the enterprise bean instances have only read access to their environment variables. The Container must throw the javax.naming.OperationNotSupportedException from all the methods of the javax.naming.Context interface that modify the environment naming context and its subcontexts. --------- basically its for read only config. without redeploying an app, there's nothing in the spec that outlines how you would notify your beans of a change in config, so essentially they are set-and-forget values.
