I'm working on a spring-mvc application which required to load static location from webapp folder and file system. I followed documentation, this answer and many more tutorials and configured following.
<mvc:resources mapping="/images/**" location="/img/" cache-period="10000"/> <mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="file://D:/my-apps/sample-mvc/images/" cache-period="10000"/> <mvc:annotation-driven/> Directory structure is as follows.
web.xml ->
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5"> <listener> <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class> </listener> <servlet> <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <!-- Configuration location for servlet context --> <param-value>classpath:mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value> </init-param> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.css</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.jpg</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.png</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.gif</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.woff</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>default</servlet-name> <url-pattern>*.woff2</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <!-- Configuration location for main application context --> <param-value> classpath:application-context.xml </param-value> </context-param> But it's not serving any file in the given two URLs. (localhost:8080/sample-mvc-app/images/a1-img-001.jpg, or localhost:8080/sample-mvc-app/resources/test-uploaded-img-1.jpg)
Testing further I found out that, if I would use the URL with original directory name (localhost:8080/sample-mvc-app/img/a1-img-001.jpg) the image is loading in the browser.
Could anyone please help me to find out whats wrong here?
Additionally, Servlet container: tomcat
