无法将CSS链接到JSP（Spring MVC）

Question

I am struggling with spring mvc file structure.

I am able to display an image ressource in a jsp but not to link a css to it, even if they are at the same location !

Here is my file structure :

/src
 /main
   /resources
   /webapps
      /resources
          main.css
          logo.png
      /views
          somePage.jsp
      /WEB-INF
         web.xml
         dispatcher-servlet.xml
         ....  

Here is what I have in my dispatcher :

      <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix">
            <value>/views/</value>
        </property>
        <property name="suffix">
            <value>.jsp</value>
        </property>
     </bean>

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

And in my somePage.jsp :

 <img src="<c:url value="/resources/logo.png" />" alt="blabla" />

 <link href="<c:url value="/resources/main.css" />" rel="stylesheet" />

 ...

The image load correctly but not the css ...

Note : I have the following message in eclipse : : "invalid location of tag (link). " about the css link...

If you have any idea, thank you by advance !

Answer 1

Finally it seems to be a cache issue.

I just delete my chrome cache and my css appeared.

When I compiled the first time, my css was empty and I filled it later. It seems that even after editing it and re-running the project the css state ,wasn't refreshed.

chrome probably kept my css state as empty and didn't detect the update .. weird.

You add some code. like this.

Your servelet-context.xml

<mvc:default-servlet-handler />

Your jsp

<c:set var="contextPath" value="<%=request.getContextPath()%>"></c:set>


<link href="${contextPath}/resources/main.css" rel="stylesheet" />
