Static resources are not loaded from classpath

[karpaczio]

Hi
I'm using spring 3.1.0.RELEASE, spring webflow 2.3.0.RELEASE and I've the following configuration in my app

	
 <mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/, classpath:/META-INF/web-resources//>
 <mvc:default-servlet-handler/>

Structure in war is the following:

 |-images
 |-META-INF
 |-scripts
       |- modernizr-2.0.4.js
 |-styles
 |-WEB-INF
       |-lib
           |- spring-js-resources-2.3.0.RELEASE.jar

When I deploy application on local tomcat (mvn tomcat:run), then javascript from jar (e.g. spring/Spring-Dojo.js) is loaded properly. When I deploy it on jboss (5.1.0.GA), then they are not loaded. Other resources (e.g. modernizr-2.0.4.js) are loaded properly in both cases.

Any ideas what can be wrong or how I can track the problem ?


Excerpt from logs from tomcat:

I've got a somewhat similar issue with spring 3.0.6.RELEASE everything works well , however moving to spring 3.1.0.RELEASE causes resources not be loaded:

You might want as an interim fix to downgrade to 3.0.6.RELEASE just to see if everything works ok or not assuming you have not used the new features within 3.1 .

Thank for a tip, but after I've downgraded to 3.0.6.RELEASE, problem still persists. At the moment I've made a fast workaround with dedicated resource servlet, but it's nasty and will look for a better solution.

I have the same problem. I'm currently migrating my spring-mvc project from JBOSS 4.2.1.GA to JBOSS 5.1.0.GA.

I'm using Spring Webflow 2.3.0.RELEASE, Spring 3.0.5 and try to access files from spring-js-resources-2.3.0.RELEASE.jar.

Everything worked fine on JBOSS 4.2.1.GA but now I can retrieve js and css resources thus the whole app doesn't work anymore. I tried several workarounds and solutions but none worked.

@karpaczio: How did you solve the problem?

Anyone? Come on...

Same problem with JBoss 5.1.
I just put the contents of spring-js-resources-2.2.1.RELEASE.jar under webapp, where the rest of my static resources live.
Is there anything wrong with that?
