Linux command for extracting war file?

Question

How can I extract a .war file with a Linux command prompt?

Answer 1

Using the unzip

unzip -c whatever.war META-INF/MANIFEST.MF  

It will print the output in the terminal.

And for extracting all these files,

 unzip whatever.war

Using the jar

jar xvf test.war

Note! The jar command will extract war contents to the current directory. Not to a subdirectory (like Tomcat does).
