Please, make sure that your servlet-context.xml or web.xml, has as follows

  <!-- Additional file type mappings -->
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.ico</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.js</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.css</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>


  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jpg</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

Finally solved this problem. *.js and *.css files are excluded from artifact in my pom configuration . I thought pom.xml configuration is for maven build only and Idea uses its own builtin build system before. my configuration:

    <plugin>
        <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
        <artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
        <configuration>
            <warName>${project.artifactId}</warName>
            <failOnMissingWebXml>true</failOnMissingWebXml>
            <warSourceExcludes>**/*.js,**/*.css</warSourceExcludes>
        </configuration>
    </plugin>
