I have this @Bean redirecting requests to my Spring Boot backend.
@Bean
WebMvcConfigurer configurer () {
return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers (ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/data/static/images/**")
.addResourceLocations("file:" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/static/img/");
}
};
}
It works perfectly for URLs such as:
http://localhost:4200/data/static/images/champion/tiles/Ahri_0.jpg
But not for URLs such as:
http://localhost:4200/data/static/images/champion/tiles/Tahm%20Kench_0.jpg
The image is correctly shown in my Angular2 front end if the champion name does not contain any of: space, ampersand or single quote characters.
I ran a trace level logging debug and made both types of requests -- one with and without a "bad" character. Currently, it seems as if the backend searches for the correct file. However, it turns out that it claims it can't find it. I quintuple checked the file in my insanity, I know it is there and that the path printed is correct.
Here is an example log message:

EDIT: I've implemented the class in the accepted answer, and it's definitely working because I printed the resource name (after encoding the characters I had trouble with.) However, the result is still a 404 error.
Log is below. The champion/Aatrox2Epng bit is due to a println statement in the method @slimane posted below.

another EDIT -- sorry for the confusion, I changed the path because I thought paths with periods would work now.
@Bean
WebMvcConfigurer configurer () {
return new WebMvcConfigurerAdapter() {
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers (ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/data/static/images/**")
.addResourceLocations("file:" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/static/8.23.1/img")
.resourceChain(true)
.addResolver(encodedPathResourceResolver());
}
};
}
define your own PathResourceResolver as below:
import org.springframework.core.io.Resource;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.PathResourceResolver;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.resource.ResourceResolver;
import java.io.IOException;
public class CustomPathResourceResolver extends PathResourceResolver implements ResourceResolver {
@Override
protected Resource getResource(String resourcePath, Resource location) throws IOException {
//fixes problems with whitespaces in url
resourcePath = resourcePath.replace(" ","%20");
return super.getResource(resourcePath, location);
}
}
and then register it in your configuration:
@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
registry.addResourceHandler("/data/static/images/**")
.addResourceLocations("file:" + System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/static/img/")
.resourceChain(true)
.addResolver(new CustomPathResourceResolver())
;
}
