Static files in GAE Cloud


When an application is deployed in GAE cloud (Appspot.com); Is there a way to update or modify the static files on the src/main/webapps folder? For example the HTML and JSP files?

Much like what we can do with Apache Tomcat, where we can modify the contents of the deployed app?


Solution

  • As far as I know, there is no other way short of redeploying the entire app. App Engine runs in a sandbox, and write file access is one of the things disallowed by the security manager.
