Cause
Customer has upgraded schema header Deployment Descriptor to EJB 3.1, provided by DDConverter.
however the EJB still is 2.1 therefore it is not good practice to give the 3.1 schema.

Solution
1.
Change the ejb-jar.xml Deployment Descriptor Schema to:

<ejb-jar < xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee">xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd" version="2.1">

then recompile the EJB again.
