Issue
I want to include js and css files in my jsp, but I'm not able to do so. I'm new to the concept of spring MVC. For a long time, I've been working on this same topic. My index Page is like this
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/style.css"/>
<script type="text/javascript" src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/LoginPageScrip.js">
</script>
<style type="text/css">
body {
background-image: url("LoginPageBackgroundImage.jpg");
}
</style>
</head>
<body >
<h6>Please login in google Chrome</h6>
<h1 align="center">Welcome to my Twitter Clone</h1>
<div class="m" style="margin-left: 401px; margin-top: 70px;">
<form method="post" action="LoginForExistingUser" onsubmit="return Validate(this);">
<fieldset>
<legend align="center">Login</legend>
<div class="a">
<div class="l">User Name</div>
<div class="r">
<INPUT type="text" name="userName">
</div>
</div>
<div class="a">
<div class="l">Password</div>
<div class="r">
<INPUT type="password" name="password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="a">
<div class="r">
<INPUT class="button" type="submit" name="submit"
value="Login">
</div>
</div>
<i align="center" style="margin-left: 183px;">New User? <a href="signup.html"><u>Signup</u></a></i>
</fieldset>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
And my spring-dispatcher-servlet.xml is like this.
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd">
<context:component-scan base-package="com.csc.student" />
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
<!--<bean id="HandlerMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.BeanNameUrlHandlerMapping" />-->
<!-- <bean name="/welcome.html" class ="csc.csc.helloController.HelloController" /> -->
<bean id="viewResolver" class = "org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver" >
<property name="prefix">
<value>/WEB-INF/</value>
</property>
<property name ="suffix">
<value>.jsp</value>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
My controller is like this.
package com.csc.student;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;
@Controller
public class StudentInfoController {
@RequestMapping(value = "/indexPage.html", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public ModelAndView getAdmissionFrom() {
ModelAndView model = new ModelAndView("indexPage");
return model;
}
}
Can some one help me in this? I'm struggling very hard but I'm not getting any solution. I have kept my js and css file in WEB-INF folder.
Solution
First you need to declare your resources in dispatcher-servlet file like this :
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/folder/" />
Any request with url mapping /resources/** will directly look for /resources/folder/.
Now in jsp file you need to include your css file like this :
<link href="<c:url value="/resources/css/main.css" />" rel="stylesheet">
Similarly you can include js files.
Hope this solves your problem.
