It might be useful to say how and EAR file is created. That's what I was looking for when I searched for this page : )

This is no tutorial page. By the way, an EAR file is just a zip with a certain (precise) structure.

and the .ear file extention.

On my own, I just wondered how EAR should have been pronounced. I'm french, and used to work with americans pronouncing it like ear, the two things both side of the face. I know work in a french company, and my collegues say E.A.R. (letters in french of course).

On JBoss

I work for Red Hat, else I would update the bit about JBoss to clarify that older versions didn't offer hierarchical classloaders but newer ones do. The first part of that paragraph looks out of date compared to the end of it, and the whole thing is about older versions of JBoss. -- ke4roh (talk) 18:12, 1 June 2011 (UTC)Reply

module element

"Each module element contains an ejb, web or java element which describes the individual modules within the application."

Why does it say "individual moduleS" as opposed to "individual module" ? One module element describes one module, isn´t it ?

EAR vs. WAR

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

It would be nice to have a section on the differences between and EAR file and a WAR file. This would also illustrate their relationship with each other. Why, for example, would you choose one file over the other for a given problem? —MiguelMunoz (talk) 01:17, 17 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
