如何确定Java Web应用程序中资源的路径

Question

I'm writing a simple web application using Spring MVC Apache Tiles and Bootstrap and I'm having trouble with loading CSS and images. For deploying I use jetty server. My project structure look like following:

My tiles config file looks

<definition name="common" template="/WEB-INF/layout/classic.jsp">
    <put-attribute name="footer" value="/WEB-INF/layout/footer.jsp" />
</definition>

<definition name="index" extends="common">
    <put-attribute name="title" value="Car Store" />
    <put-attribute name="body" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp" />
</definition>

And when I try to include css file in my classic.jsp , browser can't find relative resources. I try two cases like following

<link href="/WEB-INF/css/carousel.css" rel="stylesheet">

and

<link href="../css/carousel.css" rel="stylesheet">

but error still throw. Spring controller method looks:

@RequestMapping(value = "/")
public String index(){
    return "index";
}

Dispatcher servlet config file:

<context:component-scan base-package="org.yurabilash.car.store.controller"/>

<bean id="tilesConfigurer" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesConfigurer">
    <property name="definitions">
        <list>
            <value>/WEB-INF/defs/general.xml</value>
        </list>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.UrlBasedViewResolver">
    <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.tiles3.TilesView"/>
</bean>

Answer 1

/WEB-INF/ directory is not supposed to be accessible from client. Move your static resources like css and img to the webapp root.
