I have a Java web application with struts2 framework. in my index.jsp file, I link the CSS file, but it doesn't show in my page and Error 404: not found display in Firebug. I tested one application without Struts and everything is fine. but when i add struts2 library and config struts.xml and web.xml file, CSS doesn't display :(
here is my index.jsp:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<link href="styles/main.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
</head>
Of course, I add <%# taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags" %> and tried <s:url> in href, but don't see any effect.
here is web.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

Note: Action.Test is a test action and always return SUCCESS.
You should map the .css type in the web.xml file as following!

Here is my setup / context. I have a JAR project that is using spring-boot 1.1.4 which uses Java configuration to load a properties file:
#Configuration
#ComponentScan
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#PropertySource(name="appProps", value="classpath*:application-${spring.profiles.active}.properties")
public class DataJpaApplication {
#Autowired Environment env;
#Bean
//note, this PSPSHC is ours derived from the Spring one with specialized code.
public static org.springframework.context.support.PropertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer propertySourcesPlaceholderConfigurer() {
PropertySourcesPlaceHolderConfigurer encryptionPropertySourcesPlaceHolderConfigurer = new PropertySourcesPlaceHolderConfigurer();
encryptionPropertySourcesPlaceHolderConfigurer
.setIgnoreUnresolvablePlaceholders(true);
return encryptionPropertySourcesPlaceHolderConfigurer;
}
}
This jar works fine with unit tests standalone. I then try to incorporate it into a web app (spring mvc web app not using spring-boot) making it a maven dependency and adding it to the context like this:
<beans:bean id="jpaConfigBean"
class="com.somepackage.DataJpaApplication" />
I have a web app unit test that attempt to load the web app's application context and that works fine (including loading the context and property file from the jar). However, when I deploy this web app to a container (tcServer), it fails with the following:
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/application-local.properties]
edit
A clarification about the error above. The web app is loading its context and importing the jar file's context. It is this jar project that is loading the application-local.properties via #PropertySource. So, could this be around parent/child context interactions?
NOTE: No where does the code prepend a slash.
Here is how I am bootstrapping the spring config in the web app:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath*:**/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
I have checked the following types of things:
Confirmed the maven generated manifest has a classpath entry for the jar file in the war file.
Changing the web.xml to use /WEB-INF/servlet-context.xml (standard path) instead
Deploy this web app in JBoss instead of tc
move the application-*.property file to another folder and refer to that folder
copy the *.property file to the web app project
confirmed the WTP deployment assembly in fact references maven
opened up the generated war file and confirmed the jar file has the file in the expected location.
and several other things with no success.
I don't see the issue. Please help figure out where the bug/misconfiguration is. Also, let me know if there is further configuration or files you need to see to help debug this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Scott

I'm going crazy why my css file isn´t getting loaded. I'm using spring mvc 4 + apache tomcat 8
I already use the same code for other projects and it works normally.
Here's my project structure

i got this error:

Try adding <mvc:default-servlet-handler /> to your mvc configuration file.
change the mapping for RESOURCES to LOWERCASE resources
Except the name of your Application,which can contain Uppercase elements, the path for resources must contain only lowercase
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/RESOURCES/" />
Then ref :
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/resources/css/welcome.css" >
Use c:url tag of JSP Standard Tag Library to make the URL relative.
<%#taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"%>
<link rel=stylesheet href="<c:url value='/RESOURCES/css/welcome.css'/>"
type="text/css" />
I Delete the Apache tomcat server and I add it again and finally my CSS has been loaded :)
Can somebody explain me why ?
I am new to spring MVC and maven also. I created a maven web project in eclipse. Add dependencies for spring and run the project, but i am not getting the desired result. Here is my project structure
When i run the project then i get the result Hello World which is my index.jsp
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Hello</title>

But when i change to url http://localhost:8080/Spring_Maven/jsp/hello i get HTTP Status 500 error. And when i change to url http://localhost:8080/Spring_Maven/jsp/hello.jsp then i get the output ${message}
Here is my hello.jsp page

Here are the list of dependencies that i added through maven
What i am doing wrong?
Finally i made it work :). But i want to share so people with new to maven and eclipse could save their time.
First i installed the m2e eclipse WTP plugin and then create the maven project as i described in my question. The thing that you need to do is to add the compiler plugin and JDK version in your pom.xml else each time you do right click on project --> Maven --> Update project you get an error in the marker tab about JRE and java EE configuration problem. You also ned to change in project facets by doing right click on project --> properties --> Project facets --> Change java version. Here is the snippet of the pom.xml.
<build>
<finalName>SpringMavenHelloWorld</finalName>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1</version>
<configuration>
<source>1.6</source>
<target>1.6</target>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Then in the web.xml i updated the servelt schema, and i found that i need to define my servet-dispatcer.xml file in both dispatcher-servlet and in the servlet context. Here is my web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</web-app>
Here is the structure of my project. I changed it a bit. Made a spring folder in WEB-INF and move the dispatcher servlet in it.
Although there is no lib folder in WEB-INF but everything is working fine. The thing that took my time so much is to define both servletcontext param and servelet init-param. If i only define servlet init param like
<servlet>
<servlet-name>springMaven-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/springMaven-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>springMaven-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!--
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/springMaven-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
-->
then i got the error that
SEVERE: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException:
IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource
[/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]; nested exception is
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext
resource [/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml]
and if i define only the context param like
<servlet>
<servlet-name>springMaven-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<!--
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/springMaven-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
-->
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>springMaven-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/springMaven-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
then i got the error that
SEVERE: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException:
IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource
[/WEB-INF/springMaven-dispatcher-servlet.xml]; nested exception is
java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource
[/WEB-INF/springMaven-dispatcher-servlet.xml]
But defining both solve the issue. Now when i do right click on my project --> run on server then i get the page Hello World with url http://localhost:8080/SpringMavenHelloWorld/ and when i change it to http://localhost:8080/SpringMavenHelloWorld/hello then i get my desired output that is
Hope this will help others too. Thank you :)

You're saying the css url is not accessible (as opposed to it not being applied to your jsp) right? What's the response when you browse to /resources/dream.css?
I have had issues before with tomcat not serving static content with a /* servlet mapping. The way I solved it was to explicitly map each content type in web.xml, including .css files, like so:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.css</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
(where the "default" servlet is predefined by tomcat in conf/web.xml as org.apache.catalina.servlets.DefaultServlet)
It was actually a path issue. This was my directory structure
MyProject/WEB-INF/resources/dream.css
and in jsp link i had given it as href="/resources/dream.css" and i even tried href="MyProject/resources/dream.css".
But the wasy i resolved it is I made directory structure as
MyProject/resources/dream.css and
href="MyProject/resources/dream.css"
You could use jstl tags:
<%#taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<link href="<c:url value="/resources/style.css"/>" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Or you could use full resources path:
<base href="http://localhost:8080/myapp/" />
<link href="resources/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
i am having issues loading a simple index.jsp page using spring 3 and tomcat 7.0
the error i recieve from the tomcat logs is this:

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5">
<!-- Reads request input using UTF-8 encoding -->
<filter>
<filter-name>characterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>characterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<!-- Register and setup my servlet xml files here -->
<!-- Handles all requests into the application -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>raceLeague</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml
</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>raceLeague</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
And here is my servlet-context.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">
<!-- Scans the classpath of this application for #Components to deploy as beans -->
<context:component-scan base-package="org.springframework.samples.mvc.basic" />
<!-- Configures the #Controller programming model -->
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<!-- Forwards requests to the "/" resource to the "welcome" view -->
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="welcome"/>
<!-- Configures Handler Interceptors -->
<mvc:interceptors>
<!-- Changes the locale when a 'locale' request parameter is sent; e.g. /?locale=de -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor" />
</mvc:interceptors>
<!-- Handles HTTP GET requests for /resources/** by efficiently serving up static resources in the ${webappRoot}/resources/ directory -->
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />
<!-- Saves a locale change using a cookie -->
<bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver" />
<!-- Application Message Bundle -->
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="/WEB-INF/messages/messages" />
<property name="cacheSeconds" value="0" />
</bean>
<!-- Resolves view names to protected .jsp resources within the /WEB-INF/views directory -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
Finally my index.jsp file
<%# include file="/WEB-INF/views/include.jsp" %>
<html>
<head><title>Online racing league</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Upload a file</td>
<td>Display App list</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
i basically followed this example here so my projetc structure is similar to that http://blog.springsource.com/2009/12/21/mvc-simplifications-in-spring-3-0/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Interface21TeamBlog+%28SpringSource+Team+Blog%29
I am also using eclipse IDE
You also need a <mvc:default-servlet-handler/> to serve static resources when your servlet is bound to /.
