I remember having been with WebLogic, and we had to manually extract our

That was WebLogic 8.1.
I use WebLogic 10.x and later and they don't do that. You can just
deploy an "unextracted" WAR. It creates a working (extracted) copy in
its temporary directories.
Are you absolutely certain 8.1 didn't do that?
Nope. It's just how I remember. We tried to access "some files in the
war" but could not in WebLogic, in Tomcat t worked. But when we deployed
as an extracted folder, it worked.
Dunno. I was a newbie with J2EE back then (that it is pretty much
different now, I'm a guru;))
I'm a little puzzled myself, and not near the particular WebLogic environment
just now anyway. I think it might have to do with the fact that the unpacked
stuff is in a temporary directory and not really somewhere comfortable.
Doesn't the Java EE spec require containers to accept either a WAR or
directory-based deployment? Maybe not and I'm too lazy right now to look it
up. I don't think there's anything in there that requires a container to
unpack a WAR, but I figure it's the easiest way to deploy a WAR, just as
unpacking a ZIP-based application is the easiest way to deploy it.
