There isn't an easy answer to that question.

I can tell you how to check if your new file was incorporated in to the
WAR but whether it was deployed or not is wholly dependent on your
servlet container.

To check the WAR you'll need to explode it (it's just a jar/zip file so
you can do jar -xf 'idp.war'), then look for the jar that contains your
file (probably either the shib-commons or idp jar file) and explode
that.  Then compare the class you compiled with the one in the jar.  If
they're the same then you have your answer for whether the latest one is
in the WAR.

If you need to know how your servlet container works then you need to
contact whoever makes it.
