WAR doesn't explode into physical directory structure.

[L Goundalkar]

Hi all,
I am using JRun4 for building J2EE application. I have created the .war file and deployed the same in JRun successfully. In my application I am using a temporary directory to store some XML and uploaded files.

The problem is, in JRun4 the .war file will not explode into the directory structure. So there is no physical directory created in JRun4 and I cant access this temporary directory to maintain files. Is there any way around to get rid off this problem, except for asking the user to extract the war and "hot deploy" the application.

The same happens in BEA Weblogic server also.

Thanks for the time.
