JSP can't find stylesheet
Tomcat7, spring framework3, jstl 1.2. Hierarchy: WEB-INF/jsp WEB-INF/styles
I link stylesheet in my JSP file, which is located in WEB-INF/jsp: But it doesn't work! When i open my application there is no styles, and writter by Tomcat:
Apache Tomcat/7.0.14 - Error report HTTP Status 404 - type Status report message description The requested resource () is not available. Apache Tomcat/7.0.14
So i put my styles folder out of WEB-INF and it still doesn't work! Also, images too don't work, but my images folder not in WEB-INF and their path is corect... What is the problem?
In Spring I put my resources in a folder outside of web-inf. Like this:
Web.xml
<!-- Processes application requests -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
Then in my servlet-context.xml (configuration file specified in web.xml) file I exclude the resources directory from being managed by the dispatcher, so URLs prefixed with resources/ are not picked up by the dispatcher and attempted to be routed to an appropriate controller.
<!-- Handles HTTP GET requests for /resources/** by efficiently serving up static resources in the ${webappRoot}/resources directory -->
<resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />
In my jsp I can then access resources as normal:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/skillsmanager-ui/resources/css/reset.css" />
