Question

Does Spring MVC support versioning of static assets (css, js and images )
by appending the last-modified-date to the asset file names which effectively serves,
caches, and invalidates the assets automatically ?

Rails supports this by using the asset_tag helpers.

I want to add the last-modified-date attribute of a file as a query parameter to serve static assets from the server,
so that if I modify the static files (css, js, images) I do not have to modify my code and cache invalidation can happen automatically.

thank you

Yes, check the spring MVC documentation, section 17.15.6 Configuring Serving of Resources
