Question

i got this project structure :

i want to serve the imageOne.png like this localhost:8080/imageOne.png

i got this configuration

@Configuration public class Configurer implements WebMvcConfigurer { private static final Logger LOG = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Configurer.class); private final String RESOURCE_LOCATION = "file:/api/reports/screenshots"; private final String ANT_PATH_EXPRESSION="/**"; @Override public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) { registry .addResourceHandler(ANT_PATH_EXPRESSION) .addResourceLocations(RESOURCE_LOCATION); } /** @Override protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure(SpringApplicationBuilder builder) { return builder.sources(ApiRestApplication.class); } */ @Override public void addCorsMappings(CorsRegistry registry) { registry.addMapping("/**"); }

but is not working and everytime i do localhost:8080/imageOne.png is returning:

 There was an unexpected error (type=Not Found, status=404).

In the above link/answer,the path to the resource folder is prefixed with classpath: - in your code above is prefixed with file: - why are you using file: ? — blurfus

was able to solve it by adding the folder to the buildpath in maven using ${basedir}/reports/screenshots to make it relative instead of static i tested it using different operative system. Here is the "code"

<build> <finalName>somename</finalName> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/main/resources</directory> </resource> <resource> <directory>${basedir}/reports</directory> </resource> </resources>

and adding this on the application.properties

spring.resources.static-locations=classpath:/

and this is the custom configuration

 //private final String RESOURCE_LOCATION = "classpath:/"; private final String ANT_PATH_EXPRESSION="reports/**"; @Override public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) { registry .addResourceHandler(ANT_PATH_EXPRESSION) ; //.addResourceLocations(RESOURCE_LOCATION); }
