The actualy binary can be opened but the content is not a .war any more i.e. no web.xml and a couple of classes are removed. | The absence of a web.xml does *not* stop the war from being deployed. And it won't be considered as a corrupt deployment. Even the absence of some classes which are needed at runtime of the war and not deployment time, too will not cause the deployment failure. If you want to test the deployment failure then you can try by adding a web.xml with a non-existent servlet class. That should fail the deployment.
