Hi,

You would find it easier to build your application using ant.
Refer to : http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/programming/environment.html

try a
jar -cvf <jar-namr> .

in the folder and upload the same.

If you develop your application with Workshop 8.1, it has an option to generate the ear file for you. Once an ear file is generated, you can unzip the contents into a directory. While deploying with admin console, you can select this directory.

I myself am new to Weblogic 8.1, so do not know if this is a recommended or followed weblogic approach.
