Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server v3 Release Notes

Applications and Generated Directory Layout

Enterprise Server v2 contained two subdirectories for the applications repository: applications/j2ee-apps and applications/j2ee-modules. Those subdirectories do not exist in Enterprise Server v3 (there is no j2ee-apps or j2ee-modules level). Deployment of a standalone module such as foo.war, which resided in applications/j2ee-modules/foo in Enterprise Server v2, now resides in applications/foo in Enterprise Server v3. Enterprise applications and standalone modules essentially share the same name space, so the intermediate directory layer was not necessary.
