There may be places where we don't use the terminology as precisely as we should, but
I think Chapter EE.8 of the platform spec makes it clear that an ear file is a single Java
EE application.

EAR -> EE application ok, but is the other direction true as well?
application -> EAR?
Imo not, because the term application is also clearly used for webapps too in the EE
umbrella spec.
Clarify behaviour of @ApplicationScoped in EARs
-----------------------------------------------
Key: CDI-129
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/CDI-129
Project: CDI Specification Issues
Issue Type: Clarification
Components: Contexts
Affects Versions: 1.0
Reporter: Mark Struberg
Assignee: Pete Muir
Fix For: 1.1 (Proposed)
Since @ApplicationScoped currently is defined in 6.5.2 as to be 'like in the Servlet
specification' this means that you will get a new instance for every WebApplication
(WAR file).
There is currently no specified CDI scope for providing a single shared instance for a
whole EAR.
We could (ab-)use @Singleton for that, but this is currently not well defined at all.
Alternatively we could introduce an own new annotation like @EnterpriseScoped or likes.
