[spring] Spring Boot not serving static content

I'm using Spring Boot 2.2 and not getting any of my static content. I discovered two solutions that worked for me:

Option #1 - Stop using @EnableWebMvc annotation This annotation disables some automatic configuration, including the part that automatically serves static content from commonly-used locations like /src/main/resources/static. If you don't really need @EnableWebMvc, then just remove it from your @Configuration class.

Option #2 - Implement WebMvcConfigurer in your @EnableWebMvc annotated class and implementaddResourceHandlers() Do something like this:

@EnableWebMvc
@Configuration
public class SpringMVCConfiguration implements WebMvcConfigurer {

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addResourceHandler("/js/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/static/js/");
        registry.addResourceHandler("/css/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/static/css/");
        registry.addResourceHandler("/vendor/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/static/vendor/");
        registry.addResourceHandler("/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/static/");
    }

}

Just remember that your code is now in charge of managing all static resource paths.
