No. Tomcat will create a directory either in webapps or in the work directory depending on settings, but it will expand the war file regardless. You wouldn't want tomcat to attempt to run your webapp archived anyway -- performance would suffer horribly.

Hi,

Can war file be deployed without creating a directory, I meant, tomcat can
just use the WAR file without creating a directory?

Thanks,

Even when you hot or auto-deploy the war file the previous version has to
be replaces by extracting content from the new war file. There will be a
pause with 404 errors if you hit the URL while the deployment is taking
place. As far as I know there's no instant way of doing this.
