I have been searching on stackoverflow for a solution to my problem, but I am still struggling to make it work despite following the suggested steps.
What I want to achieve is to include static files (css, js, img) in my project and access them using HTML tags.
This is my project structure :
https://i.sstatic.net/5bfVu.jpg
Everything was working fine in my project until I tried adding the CSS. Following other suggestions, I added this line to my dispatcher file :
<mvc:resources mapping="/**" location="/jsp/website/" />
However, after adding this line, I encountered deployment issues and received the following error message :
GlassFish Server, deploy, null, false
Note :
I made some changes in the configuration files to remove the .htm extension from the URL.
This is how my dispatcher looks like:
<mvc:resources mapping="/**" location="/" />
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping"/>
<!--
Most controllers will use the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping above, but
for the index controller we are using ParameterizableViewController, so we must
define an explicit mapping for it.
-->
<bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping">
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="/">indexController</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
p:suffix=".jsp" />
<!--
The index controller.
-->
<bean name="indexController"
class="indexContr"/>
My web.xml file:
<web-app version="3.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd">
