BOTH are J2EE.
META-INF contains application specific information in the
application-root/META-INF/application.xml
META-INF in the application-ejb.jar contains the deployment descriptor
for the EJB's contained therein.
WEB-INF in the application-web.WAR (WEb ARchive) should contain web.xml
which describes the web application and should supply informatuion about
the EJB's contained in application-ejb.jar that the web application
needs to use.
The EAR (Enterprise ARchive) contains both the application-ejb.jar and
the application-web.war files. The EAR file should be a portable
application deployment unit.
