I follow the mechanism used by Maven - I first use the Ant copy task to gather all necessary files for the WAR in an exploded directory, usually at target/myappname.war, and then use the zip task to build the file target/dist/myappname.war. This way, I can have two deploy tasks - one that deploys the exploded directory (my usual preference) and another that deploys the WAR file.
