ok i think i figured the problem... i think i need to properly jar the file using the jar command in an ant script.. .i'm just zipping the files at the moment...

Right. It can not find deployment descriptor in the EAR file:

META-INF/application.xml

Note, with JBoss you can deploy standalone EJB JAR (no need to wrap it within EAR).
