EAR or WAR ?

Hi, I read some pages over the internet but it's still not clear to me : when do I have to use .war and when .ear ? I have the following webapp structure (see below), created a .war out of it, does it follow J2EE standard ?

The webapp is intended to be deployed at one client's, and anyway web.xml comes from Cocoon 2, so it is webapp 2.2-compliant and doesn't need any modification to work with different servlet engines. Thanks for any help,
