We have encountered issues with deploying unpacked war files on Windows platforms: when redeploying webapps tomcat fails to clear out the unpacked directory because windows locks some jar files. There is a "antiResourceLocking" workaround but we decided to work with packed war files in the end

I've been running with packed WARs for a while, and just ran into an issue with Spring's log4jContextListener. It demands that the war be unpacked so it can reference the application root as an absolute pathname. Tsk! I agree that leaving them packed is neater, and I like not having to worry about stale files in an exploded app directory, but I'm careful to delete the exploded directory most of the time anyway. Having them unpacked should have a slight performance advantage because the files don't have to be searched and unpacked from the WAR when they're referenced.
