Web Services for Enterprise is planned for J2EE 1.4, and there is no servers supporting this specification (for the webservices !). But It's possible to have an EAR with webservices autodeployed ! The only thing to do is to package in the war containing axis the file WEB-INF/server-config.wsdd (this one contains the list of your exposed services). How to get this file ? I've got a manual method :) I deploy tha war with axis (with no server-config.wsdd), I use AdminClient like usual to deploy the webserrvices and I serach for the newly created server-config.wsdd ! After I just have to place it in my war under WEB-INF directory.
You can package the war in an ear if you want to benefit from EAR formats (like not have to place ejbjars in the WEB-INF/lib directory of the axis webapp, ...) but it's not mandatory.
