Question

I would like to allow users to access images saved in web folder.

For example – I have an image in web root folder “blank.png”. But the link http://localhost:8080/myapp/blank.png returns 404 (not found).

Adding type to resteasy.media.type.mappings does not work.

I am a bit of a newbie in RESTEasy…

Answer 1

your servlet mapping probably mapped all URLs to RESTeasy servlet, therefore overshadowing the normal static file serving. You should adjust servlet-mapping tags.

But you can also serve files from RESTeasy:

 @GET
 @Path("/img/{fileName}")
 public File getImage() { return new File("..."+fileName; }
