You change  yor deploy  path only from DeploymentScanner service in conf/jboss-service.xml, it's no different between ejb  and servlets, both can be deployed in same deploy path.

This is from documentation:

<!-- URLs are comma separated and resolve relative to the server home URL
unless the given path  is absolute. If the URL ends in "/" it is
considered a collection and scanned, otherwise it is simply deployed;
this follows RFC2518 convention and allows discrimination between
collections and directories that are simply unpacked archives.
URLs may be local (file:) or remote (http:). Scanning is supported
for remote URLs but unpacked deployment units are not.
Example URLs:
deploy/
scans ${jboss.server.url}/deploy/, which is local or remote
depending on the URL used to boot the server
${jboss.server.home}/deploy/
scans ${jboss.server.home)/deploy, which is always local
file:/var/opt/myapp.ear
deploy myapp.ear from a local location
file:/var/opt/apps/
scans the specified directory
http://www.test.com/netboot/myapp.ear
deploys myapp.ear from a remote location
http://www.test.com/netboot/apps/
scans the specified WebDAV location
