title: JSP deployment without war file
body: <p>The thing is that I do not want to replace an entire web app contained in "war" file just because there needs to be a change in a single JSP file. So is it possible to deploy JSP pages on to a Web Server without packaging it into the "war" file? If so then on which Web Servers can this be done (and how)?</p>

  <p>Actually, I am looking for a solution like classic ASP or PHP. In these environments, there is no need for a specific XML configuration file, and they do not need to be packaged in a WAR file that gets expanded to a directory. If I were to change a single ASP/PHP page then I only need to upload that to the Web Server and they have a simple directory layout. Is that possible with JSP?</p>
