Are Two WEB projects in one EAR-file running on Websphere6.1?

Sometimes it is just uesfull to reduce the amount of EAR files you have, so just have to deploy one. Have you ever tryed to run two different WEB projects with just one EAR file ?

How will we have to configure the EAR project, or the Webserver to accept both applications in one EAR File, and where will we need to declare the url-pattern for the servlet-mapping ?

How to remote deploy a Web service to Apache Tomcat from within a Java program

The deployment of servlets to a Servlet container like Tomcat is usually a simple task: Just copy the developed servlet to a specific target directory. The container will then hot deploy it. The proposed task is however more complex: The goal is to make a programmatical remote deployment of a Web service. In other words, an already developed Web service is to be deployed from a PC to a remote server which is running a Tomcat Servlet container.
