Exploding WAR during deployment in 9.2

[Mick Sear]

Is there a way to deploy a WAR file in exploded format in WLS 9.2? I
don't want to have to redeploy just to alter a properties file.

Cheers,
Mick

Hi Mick,

Fairly straight-forward stuff, say you want to deploy a war called
Monitor.war.
First rename the file to Monitor.war0 and create a directory called
Monitor.war.
Open the Monitor.war0 file in winzip and extract it to the new
directory. This directory should now have exactly the same contents
and structure as your original web archive.
Copy (or ftp if necessary) the whole directory to your weblogic server
domain/upload directory and deploy as normal.

HTH,

Adam
