Question

I have created MVC application.

I want to include js or css file into jsp.

My static files ar under:

- webapp
        -js/jquery.js
        -WEB-INF|
                |
                 - jsp/*.jsp

My code to include jquery is:

<script type="text/javascript" src="<c:url value="js/jquery.js" />"></script>

and i cant load the js file into view.

I see the logs with info:

WARN : org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/pool/js/jquery.js] in DispatcherServlet with name 'appServlet'

what means, that MVC try to map url to js file.

I think that there is something with my configuration, but i don’t know what.

my web.xml is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd”>

<!-- The definition of the Root Spring Container shared by all Servlets and Filters -->
<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/root-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

<!-- Creates the Spring Container shared by all Servlets and Filters -->
<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

  <filter>
    <filter-name>hibernateFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-class>
  </filter>
  <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>hibernateFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </filter-mapping>

Answer 1

Change your DispatcherServlet mapping to e.g:

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

Or some other not conflicting url-pattern like *.htm or /controllers/*. Remember that from now on all your controllers will be available only through this pattern.

Now it is intercepting everything in your web application, including .js files, images, etc.

The same thing with hibernateFilter – you don’t really need an open Hibernate session when fetching .js files, don’t you?
