My application has an ejb-jar module, a connector rar module and an war module.
The persistence jar is located in the lib directory, in a jar called persistence.jar.
persistence.jar contains the persistence.xml file in the META-INF directory and all entity classes.
Here's the structure of the ear file :
[i]-META-INF/

--application.xml
