Once you "submit" the war file to GlassFish it is up to GlassFish to deal with it :) and it does the
explosion (unconditionally, as Hong points out).
If you want to save time, you can consider directory deployment that alleviates you from jarring up
the web app contents (and then unjarring is not a concern at all). GlassFish treats your directory
in an "opaque" manner.
Is that what you're looking for?
