How did you try to deploy this war? Something like this?
asadmin deploy fedora.war
Not sure what happened here, looking at the contents of the war, it contains WEB-INF/web. xml etc which should be enough to identify itself as a war to the server.
Would you be able to share the war or a stripped down version that still manifests the problem?
