Are there any advantages of WAR in server performance?
There is no performance benefit in using WAR files. Indeed, a typical web container unpacks the deployed WAR file into the the webapp’s directory before running the webapp … and this takes time.
The real benefit of WAR and EAR files is in simplicity of deployment … assuming that you are not doing something unsound like developing code on a live production server.
