Convert EAR to WAR

Can you convert EAR to WAR?
QUICK ANSWER
Is it possible to convert EAR to WAR?
No - not a direct conversion.

EAR and WAR are different packaging tiers. An EAR contains WARs; you can extract WARs from it but you cannot 'convert' an EAR to a WAR. Deploy the WAR modules individually to a servlet container (Tomcat) if you don't need a full EE server.
