Well, it's actually quite simple from my recent experience (I only tested
with many interdependent ejb modules though).
Manually, it's something like this.
1/ Create a directory that will contain all your ear data.
2/ Put for example all your modules at the root (your many wars and your ejb
jar inside a directory)
3/ Create a META-INF directory and put an application.xml inside containing
something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE
Application 1.3//EN" "
http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">
<application id="mon appli">
<display-name>Whatever name you want</display-name>
<module>
<ejb>youEjbJar.jar</ejb>
</module>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>yourFirstWar.war</web-uri>
<context-root>war1</context-root>
<web>
</module>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>yourSecondWar.war</web-uri>
<context-root>war2</context-root>
<web>
</module>
<!-- in the lib dir, you can just put every possible libraries you might
need in common for the modules. -->
<library-directory>lib</library-directory>
</application>
Note that the reference to the DTD I put will help you if you use a modern
IDE: you'll have autocompletion and documentation when just entering < (in
eclipse. <ad>I wrote a small recap about useful dtd/xsd on my blog, french,
sorry:
http://batmat.net/blog/post/2008/06/24/Quelques-declarations-XSD-ou-DTD-de-formats-XML-connus
</ad>).
HTH.
Cheers.
