Configure dispatch-policy in deployment plan, wls 9.2

Question

Hello,
We are planning to use deployment plans to configure applications post-compile time, such as assigning it a particular work manager which is defined globally. The problem is that weblogic seems to ignore the dispatch-policy configured in the plan, at least there is no evidence that the ejb is actually using specified work manager, even though it merges the plan with the descriptor.
The sections in my deployment plan looks as follows:
<variable-definition>
<variable>
<name>dispatch-policy_0</name>
<value>wm02</value>
</variable>
<variable-assignment>
<name>dispatch-policy_0</name>
<xpath>/weblogic-ejb-jar/weblogic-enterprise-bean/\[ejb-name="xx.xx.xx.myejb"\]/dispatch-policy</xpath>
</variable-assignment>

Hi,
I ran a quick test where I removed the work manager i referenced in the deployment plan, and behold, the server whined about referring to a missing work manager, so it "worked" all the time, there was just no way to test it.
Anyway, than you for the help, it was really appreciated. :)
Another thing I'm wondering about is XPath functions, and whether weblogic supports them in deployment plans. If I for example would like to insert the dispatch policy for some ejb with a name partially matching a string, I thought the XPath */weblogic-ejb-jar/weblogic-enterprise-bean[ejb-name/dispatch-policy* would do the trick, however this is not liked by weblogic since it requires name value pairs. Is there another way to use the contains()-function according to this requirement?
