Hi John,
Open the source of application.xml in the EAR project and the add the following
   <module>
        <web>
            <web-uri>sampleweb.war</web-uri>
            <context-root>sampleweb</context-root>
        </web>
    </module>
Replace your war file name and context root in the above snippet and add it in your application.xml as follows...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.3//EN"
                             "http://java.sun.com/dtd/application_1_3.dtd">
<application>
    <display-name>sample</display-name>
    <description>EAR description</description>
    <module>
        <web>
            <web-uri>sampleweb.war</web-uri>
            <context-root>sampleweb</context-root>
        </web>
    </module>
</application>
Once you do it, your war is referred in ear and u can seperately deploy the war and ear and it will be recognized.
