I need to access static resources with Spring MVC like images, JavaScript and CSS.

I need to access static resources with Spring MVC like images, JavaScript and CSS. After some research I found that I can access those by putting following entries in web.xml:

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

But by this I am not able to access resources under WEB-INF/ folder. I want all my resources to be under WEB-INF/ folder only to control access. How can I do this?

    You can put this in application-servlet.xml:

         <!-- static resource mapping for style sheets, etc. -->
    <mvc:resources mapping="/styles/**"  location="/WEB-INF/skins/" />
    <mvc:resources mapping="/scripts/**" location="/WEB-INF/scripts/" />

    And on the page you could have:

     <script type="text/javascript" src="${context}/scripts/jquery-1.7.js"></script>
 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${context}/styles/css/superfish.css">
