Abstract: A computerized method and a system for direct deploy of static content. Static content is received at a deployment framework of an application server. The content is forwarded to a content deployment extension (CDE) for implementing the deployment of the content on the applications server. The application server operates in online mode during the deployment. The CDE selects an appropriate content handler to handle the deployment of the content. The content is deployed by the content handler on the application server in online mode. The CDE receive a feedback from the deployment of the static content.
