What risk ? There is no logic to your statement. Why are EAR/WAR files
nor practical? We have thousands of customers doing exactly this.

This is really not recommended. It's generally far better to co-locate
your Servlets and JSPs with your transactional EJB tier, otherwise you
end up with too much chatty network traffic. Also, assuming that your
Web Server is in the DMZ, it's a security risk to run code there.
