I'm not sure what server you are using, but it sounds like the server
does not unjar the war files, but instead introspects the war file and
pulls what it needs directly from the war file. I'm using tomcat and
when you start tomcat all webapps in the webapps directory that are in a
war file are unpacked into a directory of the same name under the war
file, thus placing the file into the file system. Currently you can set
tomcat so that it will not unwar the war files, but will read them from
the .war file itself. So maybe in your server you can set the default
behavior to be that .war files are unpacked.
