## Deployment by Module or Application

You can deploy applications or individual modules that are independent of applications. The runtime and file system implications of application-based or individual module-based deployment are described in Runtime Environments.

Individual module-based deployment is preferable when components need to be accessed by:

- Other modules

- J2EE Applications

- ACC clients (Module-based deployment allows shared access to a bean from an ACC client, a servlet, or an EJB component.)

Modules can be combined into an EAR file and then deployed as a single module. This is similar to deploying the modules of the EAR independently.
