I think JSR-88 can be made to work in most any case. The API can
update the original EAR, write out a new DD (XML or otherwise) and send it
to the server, serialize a bunch of objects, call methods on the server,
etc. It's supposed to expose a "deployment plan" to the tool, but that
can be in any form.
