Serving static content with Spring 3

Question

I\'m trying to use resources mapping feature of Spring 3 and it does not seem to be working. Here is what I have:

    aaa<         


        

Answer 1

Got it fixed!

Looks like there is a bug in ResourceHttpRequestHandler which only appears with Weblogic.

To fix the issue:

Remove

<resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/"/>

Add

<default-servlet-handler/>

I know some of you suggested using the default-servlet-handler but the resources mapping must be removed in order for it to work!

Answer 2

Try replacing your <resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />

with

<mvc:annotation-driven />
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />

Answer 3

You are mapping your app to the root context, so you should probably include

<mvc:default-servlet-handler/>

in your mvc config. Have a look at 15.12.5 in the spring docs. I wasn't able to get mvc:resources to work without that setting when my dispatcher servlet was mapped to /. At least, that's what I seem to remember having to do when I configured this a couple of months ago in my project.
