Resolving the problem
One possibility as to why your EAR file is not present is because your application deployment descriptor does not specify enableDistribution="true".
This flag is specified as part of the application installation procedure in the administrative console, and is stored as a property in the install_root/config/cells/cell_name/applications/application_name/deployment.xml file.

The flag can be set from the Administrative Console,
- Applications > Enterprise Applications > <application_name>
- Check the box for Enabled Distribution.
- Click OK

For more details on why your application files are not present on all of your nodes and how to resolve this problem, see the section listed, Application files are not present on all nodes (located in the WebSphere Application Server V5.1 Information Center).
