Using multiple "mvc: resources" tags in spring mvc

Question

I am trying to use static resources using the new mvc tag library introduced in spring v3.0.4.

My spring config looks like this:

   <mvc:resources mapping="/scripts/**" location="/scripts/" />
   <mvc:resources mapping="/styles/**" location="/styles/" />
   <mvc:resources mapping="/images/**" location="/images/" />

But it sends a request for / styles / ** to the DispatcherController. I get a blank page with this magazine.

Answer 1

I know his very old question, but today I came across the same scenario, and after that worked for me .. (I hope this helps someone)

1.) I added the lines below:

<mvc:resources location="/css/" mapping="css/**"/>
<mvc:resources location="/js/" mapping="js/**"/>
<mvc:resources location="/images/" mapping="images/**"/>

slightly lower <mvc:annotation-driven />

2.) I linked my stylesheets and js like this (i.e. unlike / css / or / js /)

<link href="css/styleIndex.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"></script>

Answer 2

:

/PROJECT/src/main/webapp/META-INF/static/img

/PROJECT/src/main/webapp/META-INF/static/css

/PROJECT/src/main/webapp/META-INF/static/js

dispatcher-servlet.xml:

<mvc:resources mapping="/static/**" location="/META-INF/static/" />
<mvc:resources mapping="/js/**" location="/META-INF/static/js/" />
<mvc:resources mapping="/img/**" location="/META-INF/static/img/" />
<mvc:resources mapping="/css/**" location="/META-INF/static/css/" />

How to download:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="/js/file.js" />"> </script>

spring -mvc-3.0.xsd: http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd

Multiple locations can be specified as a comma-separated list, and locations will be checked for a given resource in that order. For example, the value "/, classpath: / META-INF / public-web-resources /" will allow you to provide resources both from the root of the web application, and from any JAR in the class path that contains / META -INF / public-web -resources /, with resources at the root of the web application taking precedence.
