As long as it is clear to you, I don't have a problem.
Note however that the signed jar may come from a server
instance (EE) that has an application reference to this
app deployed on the DAS. Right?

In which case, I am not sure what the idea is.

If we were to place it inside:
<applications>
  -- app-name
      --- war
      --- jar
      --- java-web-start **** here ****

then the synchronization will take care of it.
