A sample application.xml (Java EE 5 and Java EE 6)

The following is a sample application.xml that declares 3 modules (application client, ejb jar, and war), and a library directory. The library-directory element is redundant here since the default value is "lib".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="5"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_5.xsd">

<module>
 <java>test-client.jar</java>
</module>

<module>
 <ejb>test-ejb.jar</ejb>
</module>

<module>
 <web>
   <web-uri>test.war</web-uri>
   <context-root>test</context-root>
 </web>
</module>

<library-directory>lib</library-directory>
</application>

Java EE 6 application.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<application xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  version="6" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/application_6.xsd">

  <application-name>test-app</application-name>
  <initialize-in-order>true</initialize-in-order>
  <module>
    <web>
      <web-uri>test-web.war</web-uri>
      <context-root>test</context-root>
    </web>
  </module>

  <module>
    <ejb>test-ejb.jar</ejb>
  </module>
  <library-directory>lib</library-directory>
</application>
