---WSAD ::: EAR confusion and questions on web.xml and application.xml

[verduka fox]

I'm in the process of migrating from WebSphere Studio 3.5 to WSAD 4.02. I have an Ant script that will create a WAR and an EAR for me. I have 3 JARS that I need to include, but I don't know if the JARS should be inside the WAR, or at the same level as the WAR in the EAR. Can anyone explain this for me? I haven't been successful in finding documentation on this at IBM's site.
Also, what is the web.xml for? What about application.xml? Does anyone have an example of what these files should look like? Can WSAD auto-generate these, or do I need to manually create them? What needs to be included, and where should the files be at?
Thanks in advance.

Verduka:
redbook SG24-6292-00 gives quite a good insight about how to develop webapplications and ejbs for was with wsad.
The first 300 pages or so are not about webservices.
You need not create web.xml, application.xml manually.
For your questions the ressources on this site might be usefull: http://www7b.boulder.ibm.com/wsdd/library/presents/AE_SkillTrans.html
hope it helps.
