Unpacking of war files seems to be application server dependent.
JBoss deploys our WO war files without unpacking them.
I think SSD verses WAR is a matter of what is best for your
deployment environment. With SSD deployment, your deployment is
smaller since the WO library is shared among your applications.
However, you have the overhead of having to install WO deployment and
maintain it on the server. On some servers, the installation and
upgrades can be a bit tricky since you have to install the WO pieces
in the right place. WAR has the big advantage of easy deployment.
Yes, it is a much bigger file since it encapsulates WO libraries, but
it is just one file. The IT group is happy to deploy WO applications
as true WAR files since there is no WO overhead for them. Instead
the WAR file contains everything needed for deployment. They simply
drop it into the deployment folder and they are done. This is ideal
for deploying to Linux, Solaris or any other non Mac platform since
the True WAR file is just a J2EE servlet. You avoid having to argue
the benefits of WO to the IT group as long as they don't have do
anything special to support it.

We deploy all our apps as Servlets and package them as WARs. The
biggest
hassle that I have recently discovered is that the WAR files MUST be
unpacked in order for them to run. Usually the servlet container
has options
to run the web apps directly from the WAR without unpacking them -
the WO
apps seem to require the WARs to be unpacked.
