Spring boot 在 resoures 文件夹下找不到 index.html

Question

folder structure:

I'm unable to reach test.html which is under resources/static folder:

src-> main-> java-> resources -> static -> test.html

http://localhost:8080/test.html (not working)

but able to reach index.html under:

src-> main-> java-> webapp-> index.html

http://localhost:8080/index.html (working)

from Spring Boot docs, it seems that I supposed to put all of my static content under /src/main/resources/static

extra info: <packaging>war</packaging>

WEB-INF inside the war file:

any idea why I'm not able to reach test.html?

Answer 1

You must add file extension: "index.html". Another option (if you want to make it work without extension) is adding thymeleaf dependency to pom.xml.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-thymeleaf</artifactId>
</dependency>

Answer 2

You need to actually place the content in a folder named static.

The hierarchy would be src/main/resources/static/index.html

Answer 3

Now you want to keep your resources into the resource folder which IS NOT in the

src-> main-> java

By default Spring-boot is searching for the .html files uder that directory :

src-> main-> resources-> templates

As I can see you are saying that you put yours into the :

src-> main-> JAVA-> resources

Which is wrong.

Simple :

Keep your Controllers, Services, Repositories and so on into the java folder and keep your resources into the resources one. Where you can have a static folder for css, fonts, img, js and a templates folder where you should keep your htmls .
