It may be a solution but it is quite cumbersome to do when applying only minor fixes & patches. I’ll have to verify, but I’m quite sure that our web server does not support running directly the application from a *.war file, we would have to manually redeploy everytime the war file using the web server admin console.
Of course this would work but is this common practice? It seems to be quite cumbersome in my opinion and would be only justifiable for major updates.
My 2 cents.
