Ok, that is the real problem but I'm ignoring why this has any impact on programmatic deployments other than that to properly provide the structure metadata for an ear without an application.xml, you would have to also provide the J2eeApplicationMetaData. It is too much to assume this will also be programmatic available, so if that is what your saying I agree.

I have created an EARContentsDeployer that is ordered after the AppParsingDeployer and runs on ears without META-INF/application.xml to produce the implicit J2eeApplicationMetaData. The jboss-app.xml only ear is being correctly processed with this deployer in the chain.
