My JSP pages in my dynamic web application (in Eclipse) are not being styled by my CSS code. I have included a stylesheet in index.jsp as follows:
index.jsp
<html>
<head>
<title>To Do List - Home</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/css/stylesheet.css">
</head>
<body>
Tasks
</body>
</html>
And my project structure is as follows:
I thought that href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/css/stylesheet.css would look for stylesheet.css in ToDoList/WebContent/css/. If I try navigating directly to the stylesheet in the browser via http://localhost:8080/ToDoList/css/stylesheet.css it returns a 404 error.
I am aware this question has been asked before but from looking at the other questions I still can't figure out what is wrong with my project structure.
Update:
So I added <mvc:resources mapping="/css/**" location="/css/" /> to my servlet config, but now when I navigate to any page other than index.jsp I get a 404 error.

The error I get is:

This is upon clicking a link to "tasks" in index.jsp which was previously returning the tasks.jsp page.
For every URL in the app, you can make use of c:url tag in JSTL lib.
Tasks.
So, if you have controller method mapping #requestmapping("/tasks"), it will be invoked.
Or try as Tasks like you use at css files.
Important: You should add <mvc:annotation-driven /> in xml configuration for the support of annotation-driven MVC controllers like #RequestMapping, #Controller.

It looks like you have given some unwanted spaces in starting line of your 'root-context file'. XML file always should begin with '<?xml'. Could you please try to remove these space and try again?
I am trying to add some JSF to my Spring WebFlow project and I made some changes trying to following the details at:

So can someone please tell me why webflow stopped working!!
I think you are trying to load faces-config.xml as a Spring configuration file. The JSF configuration file (faces-config.xml) is where you register a JSF application's resources and it is not a Spring configuration file so do not include it with other Spring config files.
Also /WEB-INF folder is the default place to put faces-config.xml. If you have it in /WEB-INF/spring folder then you need to mention the path in the web.xml something like this:
<context-param>
<param-name>javax.faces.CONFIG_FILES</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/faces/faces-config.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
Unrelated to the concrete issue you also need 'SpringBeanFacesELResolver' in your faces-config.xml to resolve any Spring beans before you inject them in any JSF managed beans.
<faces-config>
<application>
<el-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.el.SpringBeanFacesELResolver</el-resolver>
</application>
<faces-config>

Please help me, I am new to spring.
I think you should prefix bean and property with beans:
...
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.web.multipart.commons.CommonsMultipartResolver" id="multipartResolver">
<beans:property name="maxUploadSize" value="500000" />
</beans:bean>
...
and remember to close the XML with the end tag:

We have a web app that works beautifully on tomcat, but fails to run on a latest weblogic cause of static resource loading issues - basically we serve all resources from /static/** and have set this up in the spring servlet xml file like this:
<mvc:resources mapping="/static/**" location="/static/" />
This works on tomcat, but on weblogic you simply see an ugly page as all CSS/JS/jpgs within the static directoty cannot be found.
I played with this, too:
<mvc:default-servlet-handler />
I placed it once at the end of the spring config and at the beginning, but no result...
How to serve our static resources?
for a start I would check 2 things. First as I am not a Spring user I am not sure what method spring uses to find and load the files and if it uses getRealPath you could try enabling this in weblogic.
In admin console you click in the domain name, web applications and down the page(last option) you will find a checkbox to enable getRealPath to work even when your app is packaged in a .war or .ear file. You will need to restart the servers for your domain for this configuration to take effect.
If this does not fix your problem you could try mapping the static files using weblogic.xml file.
You will have to use the weblogic tags like:
<wls:virtual-directory-mapping>
<wls:local-path>/var/docs/weblogic</wls:local-path>
<wls:url-pattern>/static/*</wls:url-pattern>
</wls:virtual-directory-mapping>
In the example above you would have a file under fisic disc path /var/docs/weblogic suppose it is named myfile.css to be loaded correctly by the complete url: http://seudominio.com/static/myfile.css or using the relative path /static/myfile.css
I believe one of these approaches could help you.
regards.
For my Spring MVC I have below platform and that works quite well for static resources like CSS or JS.
Platform
Spring MVC 4.2.0
Hibernate 4.2.20
Weblogic 10.3.6
Eclipse
create resources folder inside /WebContent folder & outside /WebContent/WEB-INF. So my Application structure would be like below.

I'm currently working on a Spring MVC project and have some issue with using "<MVC:resource "tag of SpringMVC to load static resource. So I downloaded the springMVC showcase project and did some change on it to check this tag.
Since my project is a simple one, seems to me the two tags for "conversionservice" is not necessary.
However after I removed this two tag, something wired happend.
If I have both the tag for static resources "<resources mapping="/resources/.." and the "<context:component-scan base-package="org.springframework.samples.mvc" />" tag (in controllers.xml) configged, then I cann't access any uri that anotated on controllers- it returns a 404 not found error. if I comment out the resource mapping tag, then those controllers works fine.
Anyone have ever experience this situation? Any idea how to get around that?

<context:annotation-config/> just don't work on Spring 3.1.0, but <mvc:annotation-driven/> just works, I referenced this post
I got the same issue and what I did is to remove the "**" in the resource tag.
I had faced similar issue - SO Question
You can either use <mvc:annotation-driven/> or provide handler mapping yourself with order of higher precedence -
<bean id="annotationUrlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping">
<property name="order" value="0" />
