I wanted to extract a specific file out of a WAR file, so I fired up Winzip, got file path in the archive (web-inf\web.xml), then tried to extract it with jar xf file.war web-inf/web.xml.
No go; jar could not find that file. After ten minutes of head-scratching, I got a list of files from the archive with jar tf file.war and saw that the path was really WEB-INF/web.xml!
Why extract that file using jar? I'm hacking a script to customize the hostname in the web.xml file for the daily build and installation of our WAR file.
