AngularJs doesn't load JSON file from local “Maven Project”

Question

I'm building Web application using AngularJs, trying to use angular-translate for my app. Here is Doc: http://www.ng-newsletter.com/posts/angular-translate.html

$translateProvider.useStaticFilesLoader({
  prefix: 'assets/resources/',
  suffix: '.json'
});

I have 2 json file in my project directory

webapp/assets/resources/locale-en_US.json
webapp/assets/resources/locale-ru_RU.json

When I Run my app in browser, I'm getting this error

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) 
http://localhost:8080/assets/resources/locale-ru_RU.json

I tried to load .js file and also .jpg from the same directory where is located my json files

webapp/assets/resources/foo.jpg

everything works fine, I cant load only JSON files from local. I Tried to make $http request but no result.

$http.get('assets/resources/locale-en_US.json' ).success(function(data) {
   console.log(data);
});

Looks like my project ignores json files from local. I made researchs and fount some suggestions to add mapping to web.xml . No Result

<mime-mapping>
  <extension>json</extension>
  <mime-type>application/json</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>

Any Idea what to Do?

I had servlet-mapping in my web.xml

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>shemoGeServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.json</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

which was searching jsno files in WEB-INF directory, but my jsno files were in assets directory. Here is my servlet-config.xml

    <bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource" p:basename="messages"></bean>

    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" />
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    </bean>

    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.BeanNameViewResolver" p:order="0"/>

</beans>

That's why I was getting

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) 

I removed servlet and the problem gone

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>shemoGeServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.json</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
