Question

I have seen the other solution on stackoverflow but it does not help. I am doing the same thing but I don’t know why its not working for me.

I am uploading the images in /home/images folder on ubuntu machine and in spring-servlet.xml I have written the following lines

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

<mvc:resources mapping="/images/**" location="file:/home/images/"/>
<mvc:default-servlet-handler/>

Images are getting uploaded at /home/images/ folder but I am not able to access these images

In JSP I have written

   <img src="/images/image.jpg"/>

but its not showing this image I don’t understand the problem here. Please let me know if anything else is required.

Answer 1

oooook, your dispatcher servlet is mapped to .htm, so you’re dispatcher servlet is never gonna be invoked, since it handles those /resources/* requests and calls a ResourceHttpRequestHandler to write the static content.
