We split static resources out of each web module and store them on the
web server (where they belong!!) and change the relative url's in our
JSPs to absolute url's (this is soft-configured by a library).  We also
take redundant JARs out of each web module and either store them in the
EAR project (which puts them on the application classloader classpath)
or reference them as Shared Libraries (which also puts them on the
application classloader classpath).  

As far as packaging goes, I prefer to keep coupled items in the same EAR
and split everything else out.

Aaron,

Bring this up on the Ignite list and watch Cancilla blow a gasket!  We
get our 520 with WAS-E in a week or so; I'm already worrying about
this one.  From what I've been told, it sounds like web assets (like
images and such) can't really be reused easily.  You stick them in the
EAR, and that's where they live.

My question (sort of in the same vein) is should I have different
EAR's for the different "applications" on my site (shipment tracking,
transit time lookup, rate quote), or should all of my interactive apps
be in one EAR?

Mike E.
