how to map css and js file from jsp file in spring mvc

Question

I am new to Spring mvc. I want to add css and js files in jsp. It\'s a spring mvc framework. This is my spring-dispatcher-servlet.xml code

Answer 1

Well it looks like your resource mapping is not correct, your css and js files are under "/resources" folder right? then the mapping should be

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

The inclusion of the elements in the view have been answered multiple times in stackoverflow itself. You can refer unable to use resources like css/js in spring mvc or How to include js and CSS in JSP with spring MVC

Answer 2

In case you are still looking:

Resource Mapping:

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

Adding JS/CSS in jsp pages:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<c:url value="/resources/css/main.css"/>">
<script src="<c:url value="/resources/js/app.min.js"/>"></script>

Note: All of the JS/CSS files must be under src\main\webapp\resources directory.

And if you have added Security, then you need to add this:

<http pattern="/resources/**" security="none"/>
