.war / .ear file layout..

Hi, I've been having the hardest time with this problem, but how do you create a war/ear file.

Where do you put the files? What goes where, and what do you need?

I've checked the internet in general, but what I've found is that most IDEs (read $3k+) will do it for you, but how do you do it manually?

try sun's reference-implementation (j2eesdk).
it comes with a nice deployment-tool where you can create an ear/war via 'click-click'.
afterwards you can have a look to the layout into the result-ear with a real-men's ;) deployment tool like 'jar'.
thats how i started to learn about this.

You should also spend some time reading the various
J2EE specs from Sun. They outline all this fairly
well as well (in more detail than you want to know,
probably).
