Deployment differences between exploded and unexploded EARs
I searched around but couldn't find a direct answer to how the deployment process differs when an EAR is exploded vs. unexploded. I have my first portlet project patterned after the HelloWorldPortlet which behaves differently depending on how it is deployed.
If I deploy it as an "Enterprise Archive", I get the following error:

If I explode the EAR and deploy it, the portlet works but I do get a couple (obviously non-fatal) errors like this:

Can someone point me to a reference regarding the different deployment mechanisms (or explain them to me)? What am I missing that I'm still getting the odd deploy-time messages with the exploded EAR?
Thanks for you help!
