I want to set to false attribute unpackWARs in Tomcat host configuration file.

Does running unpacked WAR affects an application performance?

You might want to update your tags to include windows as WAR files are Windows-specific (Windows only). – Richard T Jul 25 '10 at 16:28
It cannot be so. I deploy WAR to Linux server. – Nulldevice Jul 25 '10 at 18:22

@Richard T: What makes you believe WAR files are Windows-specific? WAR (Web Application Archive) is a standard format defined by Sun Microsystems for Java applications. It is cross-platform, and used on all platforms Java runs on. – sleske Jul 25 '10 at 20:08
Doah! What was I thinking? -shrug- (At the moment I can't quite recall what file type I was thinking of.) Ah well, I'll blame it on lack of coffee at the time! -wink- – Richard T Jul 27 '10 at 20:58

We run a setup like this for one of our applications. No real performance problems other than the Java overhead to begin with. Just be careful about dynamic files, they tend to be a pain when you keep it all packed together since WAR files and dynamic files don't work well together.

Overall nothing on my end. Our application is a Supply Chain Management system, runs on a web server with a DB backend, accessed 20 hours a day from suppliers around the world, average user load is 20-30 per hour with lots of updates and requests.
