AS you may know that when an API is prepared, it can be used in any project just by adding it into classpath in J2SE. I wonder if it is possible to create a web page and compiled it into a war file just like an API definition so that It can directly be used within an ear.

"API" doesn't indicate any formal construct. Perhaps you could tell us in more detail what it is that you're trying to do? – GreyBeardedGeek Jan 07 '13 at 22:35

No, you can't do that using a war file, because a war file would define a new web application separated from the other ones.
But since the servlet 3.0 spec, you can do that with a jar file placed in the WEB-INF/lib directory of your war file, using the META-INF/resources directory of the jar. See this question for details.
