Spring mvc resources problems - css images js

[emmettwalsh]

Hi,

we have a apring mvc web app with javascript, css and images. We had the all these things in a resources folder just above the web-inf folder and everything was working fine in Jetty and tomcat. Then we switched to weblogic, with our web app in a war in an ear.

No js, or css were found. Even with the <mvc:resources> its still didnt work. Eventually we had to put the lot inside the WEB-INF/classes directory and add
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="classpath:resources"/>

this seems to work except now we have discovered that images are not geting found in there either - for example inside web-inf/classes/resources/js we have a jquery/jqueryui installation. and its not displaying images on any of its widgets because they are not resolving properly.

I have read many posts on the <mvc:resources subject, but none seem to work. We are mapping /* to the spring dispatcher servlet

hoping someone can help

thanks

Did you ever get a resolution? Fairly new to Spring and having the same issue.

no but I did an apparent fix that I asked for help on, see thread here:

and here
https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-8461

let me know if you manage to solve it

Weblogic needs explicit configuration of the mime-type for certain extensions.

Adding the following to web.xml resolved the issue for me. check the thread below

<mime-mapping>
<extension>xml</extension>
<mime-type>text/xml</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
<mime-mapping>
<extension>js</extension>
<mime-type>text/javascript</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
