An EAR is a top-level container that contains other application parts,
EJB modules, web modules, client modules etc. A web archive contains a
web application only.

EAR layout:

+- META-INF
| +- application.xml
|
+- some.war
+- some.jar

WAR layout:

+- WEB-INF
| +- lib
| | +- some.jar
| +- web.xml
|
+- index.html

Note how much I like drawing ASCII images.
