You certainly can deploy multiple web-applications within a single
application in Orion. You just have to realize that Orion also allows
multiple applications on a single server (as is possible e.g. in
weblogic61), which afaik cannot be done in weblogic51.
This means that you have to create a directory for your app in
orion/applications, and deploy your beans/web-apps into this directory.

Hi Billy.
I have been deploying the ear file everytime. However, Orion has been
scanning it to see what has been updated. If it is only the war file ( I
have one war
file, multiple jars), only the war file is redeployed, the jars are not
redeployed. If only one EJB-jar file has been changed, only that jar is
redeployed, and
not the war file and the not the rest of the jars. Since I am doing the
deployments remotely, just sending one file over has been proving easier and
faster for
me than trying to send the individual files over.
The only time that I have had difficulties is when the API's for the EJB's
are changed, or EJB's are added or deleted.
