Partial redeployment of archived app

Question

Hello.
So, as in subj:
What I have: deployed war on weblogic, with a single jsp inside
What I want: to redeploy only that jsp without redeploying entire war.
When I try to use partial redeployment task with deltaFiles specified, I get DeploymentException: A partial update of an archived application is not allowed.
It is fully described here
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11035_01/wls100/messages/DeployerRuntime.html
But
I wonder if there is some walkaround of this situation, maybe somebody has done smth similar.
Thanks in advance

Hi Frf,
You can partially deploy some part of your applications on the Server like following: http://jaysensharma.wordpress.com/2010/02/08/redeploying-a-single-jsp/
In your ANT Task you can write then following to update new resources (Classes) in your WAR ...:
<target name=”reBuildWAR”>
<font color=maroon>
<war destfile=”YourWarArchieve.war” update=”true”>
<classes dir="dest/"/>
</war>
</font>
</target>
To Change the Library of your App:
<target name=”reBuildWAR”>
<font color=maroon>
<war destfile=”YourWarArchieve.war” update=”true”>
<lib dir="someLocation/jars">
<exclude name="ojdbc14.jar"/>
</lib>
</war>
</font>
</target>
To Change the JSPs of your App:
<target name="reBuildWAR">
<font color=maroon>
<war destfile="${war.name}" update=”true”>
<fileset dir="${jsps}"/>
</war>
</font>
</target>
.Thanks
