If you would like to know if it is possible to just copy the JSP files directly and dynamically to a directory on the BES, instead of deploying it with an ear/jar/war.

Resolution:

It is not just a straight forward copy and execute. But with the below steps its much simpler then deploying a ear/jar/war.

Here is the steps to follow.

1) take any (Webmodule1.war which contains .jsp file) and extract to C:\\Temp\\webapps

2) start BES, start BES Console, Under any partition ...right click On "Host Modules".

3) Select Directory(exploded archive)

4) Browse and select C:\\Temp\\webapps

5) write any name for "Module name" : WebModule2

6) Click OK.

Now start browser and run "http://:8080/WebModule2/"

copy any other say "MyName.jsp" file into C:\\Temp\\webapps and run again "http://:8080/WebModule2/MyName.jsp"

Like this you can copy any number of jsp files and can run.

For extra information please read the session "Host a module outside the Partition footprint" in the \\BES\\doc\\usersguide\\partitions.html. I hope this helps.
