Answer 1

1) Create "resources" folder.

2) Add this in your xml file:

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

3)"Use" it in your page:

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

If you use Java Config, something like this will do the job:

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class MvcConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry
          .addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
          .addResourceLocations("/resources/"); 
    }
}
