Modify a web application without redeploying it

Hello,

we have deployed a third party webapp (geoserver) to glassfish v2. We need sometimes to modify some configuration files, add some jars etc, and we do that directly modifying the files located in the application/j2ee-modules/geoserver subdirectories instead of repackaging and redeploying.
But to make those changes effective, we have to restart the whole server, disabling/enabling the module via the console doesn't work.
Do we miss something or this is the "normal" procedure, which in that way is a bit production "not friendly" (restarting the whole server just to make some application-wide changes) ?
thanks in advance

Yves.
