java - Does it matter how a war file is named? -

is of import how war called? have effect on whether work correctly? let's you're building war maven, naming in 1 way , manually rename other name before deploying somewhere on server , running it, have effect on working? deploy issues, etc?

let's maven war plugin set generate something.war , later rename newfilename.war before deploying. experience/knowledge there?

the name might matter depending on servlet container: tomcat uses name of war file without .war extension context path. can adjusted though using container-specific configuration files within .war file.

obviously matter in case when you're trying access it.
