Hot Deploy of files when using external sources during deployment
Answered
I've created one script(Gradle task) which will build and deploy my project to a specified tomcat location. So I don't need to build and deploy from IntelliJ. In IntelliJ, I'm using an external source(tomcat directory) in the deployment section of the Tomcat run configuration. Now If I made any changes from IntelliJ, I want to hot deploy that file to the tomcat location.
So is there a way in which we can do hot deployment when using external sources in deployment
Note: On the update dialog, I'm not able to see the "Update Resources" option to hot deploy

Hello,
Those options are available for artifacts built and deployed from IDE: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/updating-applications-on-application-servers.html
Does that mean that hot deploy only possible if we build and deploy artifacts from IDE only?
At least you need to use artifact, not a folder for deployment: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/updating-applications-on-application-servers.html
