Recommendations for resources in order to handle HTTP GET requests for /resources/** by offering static resources in the ${webappRoot}/resources directory is to simply add the following line in the configuration file:

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

It has worked for me.

As said by  Nancom  lt mvc resources location  quot  resources  quot  mapping  quot  resource    quot   gt   So for clarity lets our image is in resources images logo png quot   The location attribute of the mvc resources tag defines the base directory location of static resources that you want to serve  It can be images path that are available under the src main webapp resources images  directory  you may wonder why we have given only  resources  as the location value instead of src main webapp resources images   This is because we consider the resources directory as the base directory for all resources  we can have multiple sub-directories under resources directory to put our images and other static resource files  The second attribute  mapping  just indicates the request path that needs to be mapped to this resources directory  In our case  we have assigned  resource    as the mapping value  So  if any web request starts with the  resource request path  then it will be mapped to the resources directory  and the     symbol indicates the recursive look for any resource files underneath the base resources directory  So for url like http   localhost 8080 webstore resource images logo png  So  while serving this web request  Spring MVC will consider  resource images logo png as the request path  So  it will try to map  resource to the base directory specified by the location attribute  resources  From this directory  it will try to look for the remaining path of the URL  which is  images logo png  Since we have the images directory under the resources directory  Spring can easily locate the image file from the images directory  So   lt mvc resources location  quot  resources  quot  mapping  quot  resource    quot   gt   gives us for given  requests  - gt   resource mapping   http   localhost 8080 webstore resource images logo png - gt  searches in resources images logo png http   localhost 8080 webstore resource images small picture png - gt  searches in resources images small picture png http   localhost 8080 webstore resource css main css - gt  searches in resources css main css http   localhost 8080 webstore resource pdf index pdf - gt  searches in resources pdf index pdf

I also met this problem before  My situation was I didn t put all the 62 spring framework jars into the lib file  spring-framework-4 1 2 RELEASE edition   it did work  And then I also changed the 3 0 xsd into 2 5 or 3 1 for test  it all worked out  Of course  there are also other factors to affect your result

lt mvc resources mapping   resources                    location     classpath  WEB-INF public-resources                  cache-period  10000    gt    Put the resources under  src main webapp images logo png and then access them via  resources images logo png   In the war they will be then located at images logo png  So the first location     form mvc resources will pick them up   The second location  classpath  WEB-INF public-resources   in mvc resources  looks like you used some roo based template  can be to expose resources  for example js-files  form jars  if they are located in the directory WEB-INF public-resources in the jar
