Static content in spring boot....Again

Question

I want to include static content in Spring boot JAR application. I understood it's recommended to not use /src/main/webapp.

But with IntelliJ, the application run correctly. I tried to change to

/src/main/resources

or

/src/main/public

, but it doesnt work.

/public works, but I dont think its is a good solution.

How I rename static directory and where I have to move please ?

thanks

Why isn't correct for it to be placed in /src/main/webapp? That's where the public content should go in a Maven app. — Aritz

/src/main/resources is the base folder for all resources. If you place a static|public|resources|META-INF/resources folder inside of it the content should be served (e.g. /src/main/resources/static)

I had tried, but I think I needed to do clean and package before. Now its working, many thanks

This is not the best way to do it. Serving from /src/main/resources you will run into problems with live update. You should serve from /static (not in the resources folder - just from your root project folder) as it says in the spring boot docs.
