Changes not shown after commit (Heroku Java)

Question

I am working on a Java project on Spring framework. The project is cloned from the Heroku site. I encountered two issues...

1. I have created a JSP file (testing.jsp) and committed + pushed to Heroku. I created it in src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp/testing.jsp

    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/people/*</url-pattern> <url-pattern>/testing/*</url-pattern> 

   I have edited it in web.xml file and pushed to Heroku. However, when I tried to view it in my browser, it shows me the same interface as the default people.jsp page.

My web.xml file: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=2FC5994FBEB75CC5!174&authkey=!APyQGWZbKhkoAyM

1. I have created a css file and pushed to Heroku. I have added the following...

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

   When I view in browser, it shows "HTTP Status 404 - /imageCSS.css"

   I am new to this and I can't seem to google anything useful that helps me in my issue.

You need to:

1. Add the mvc:resources config in your applicationContext.xml like following:

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

2. Create a folder css under src/main/webapp/resources/ , even the resources one if you haven't it.

3. Link the ccs stylesheet in your jsp as following:

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

4. Remember to include also the JSTL taglig in your page:

   <%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>

For the point 1, you can't add multiple <url-pattern> to a single <servlet-mapping> . You should have something like this:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/people/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/testing/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I managed to solve my first issue. I don't really know where the exact problem lies on but I believe it is either I didn't map the request correctly in my controller class initially or I didn't implement out the methods and model class for that controller in order for everything to function properly.

Thanks for all the helps, really appreciate.
