WARs are just zip files with .waras extension, so you just have to :

  • extract the WAR into some directory
  • replace web.xml in WEB-INF
  • zip the directory content into a file using the same filename than before.

BTW, try to deploy your repackaged WAR into some production-like environment to test if application is running like you want.
