Each J2EE server has its own method for deploying j2ee archives. I don't
think it is easy to create one that supports them all (WebSphere, WebLogic,
Oracle's, TomCat/JBoss, ...).

And anyway, the idea behind such archives is that the deployment itself is
tweaked to the environment itself - there is no way for a "default works for
all" deployment method afaik.

I personally use a Java tool that uses the JMX possibilities of the J2EE
server (if it supports it) to deploy tools, but this is targetted on a
personal environment and mainly used to 
  1. provide a sort-of default method for deploying archives on the
     environment (which uses a single brand of J2EE servers anyway)
  2. automate the upgrading of archives to a new version

Wkr,
