How to convert Maven War project to an EAR project in Openshift?

Question

I have created an JEE application in Openshift using the JBOSS AS 7.1 cartridge a Maven project have been generated with the War deployment format.

I need to use EJBs into the application but the War format cannot hold EJB so I changed the from War to Ear, the problem is that when I deploy the Ear the application does not Work(404 Error when I access the home page).

Is there any simple solution in order to make this work?
Or Should I create two seperate projects(one EJB project and another JSF project) and a parent POM?

Answer 1

Actually it is possible to package EJBs inside a WAR archive : JEE6 Tutorial , so I decided to stick with that.

Alternatively it is also possible to convert a project from WAR to EAR by using Maven's project composition ( useful link ).
