Answer 1

Java enterprise applications are not deployed as jar files, but as .war files (for web application) or .ear files (for complete enterprise applications, including EJB).

You would probably be looking at packaging your app as a .war file. Even if it's not a "web application", it needs to be packaged as one to be deployed to a Java enterprise/web container like JBOSS.

I would suggest browsing the tutorial available from Oracle to learn more.
