Intellij Idea Run/Debug Configurations

In Idea (I am using 12.0), I have the option of deploying either a war file, or an exploded war file.

I have a Spring MVC/Maven project that I am developing (not packaging for production yet). Can someone educate me on which one I should choose, and why? I am interested in the fastest and most convenient at this point, since I am just developing. Thanks for any help.

You should use the exploded war for the faster updates (without redeployment) when developing.

war should be used when you want to prepare your app for deployment on the production server.
