I am completely new to SAP netweaver in fact SAP. I am working in a project which is based on Java/J2ee(JSF, Icefaces) and SAP netweaver combination. Currently, we are building/deploying the application using ant, for every small change in jspx file or some html file, we have do re-build.
Just wanted to know, if I can browse the deployment location like other application servers(Jboss,tomcat,weblogic) and manually deploy the respective changed file. Any possibility.
Does it have hot deployment. I am using SAP J2EE engine/7.00.
Any ideas or approach to make it quickly deploy.
You can update JSPs, html, and those type of resources by copying them directly into the web app's working directory. Mine, for example, is /usr/sap/(sid)/J00/j2ee/cluster/apps/(vendor)/(appname)/servlet_jsp/(webapp_root)/root/(your jsps are here).
Note, however, that you will lose those changes if you restart the app server instance because it will reload your application from the database.
