Can't setup javascript and jquery

Hi guys, I'm having problems setting up javascript and jquery in my maven spring mvc project.

This is what I have done so far.

1) Under webapp, I created a js folder. Inside I put a jquery.js and a myscript.js

In one of my jsp pages, I'm trying to a call a function inside myscript.js, but it doesn't work. I tried many different paths, but still the problems persists.

Inside myscript.js there is a function called hello for testing purposes.

function hello()
{
alert("Hello world");
}

Inside addUser.jsp there is a declaration

<script type="text/javascript" src="js/myscript.js"></script>

And a call to a method..

<script type="text/javascript">
hello();
</script>


It doesn't call the function. If i put the hello function inside the jsp, it works, but I don't want it in the same file.

Any ideas guys?

Solved it. Anyone else that has problems this is what I did.

Under spring.xml, which is probably your: projectname-servlet.xml

<mvc:resources mapping="/js/**" location="/js/" />

Create a folder named js under webapp, but not in the WEB-INF directory.
Put your .js files in there

access your js files via.....

<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value='/js/jquery.js' />"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value='/js/myscript.js' />"></script>

Bon Voyage and happy new year.
