hi Peter ,let me explain the application name is FiboApp.ear and it contains FiboEJB.jar and FiboWeb.war - the META-INF of FiboApp.ear contains the application.xml file where there is a mapping from /fibo to FiboWeb.war this means that once that server comes to this application.xml file it will know what to do next. but my point is if i type http://localhost:8080/fibo how does the webserver know that it needs look inside the FiboApp.ear - what happens if i have say FiboApp2.ear , FiboApp3.ear and so on in my ...server/default/all directory ?
