Where do CSS and JavaScript files go in a Maven web app project?

Question

I am switching to use Maven for my Spring web app projects and I am running into a simple issue. I am not sure where to put the CSS and JS files in the new project structure

Answer 1

org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/appname/css/myStyles.css] in DispatcherServlet

This indicates a configuration problem with your web.xml/spring context file. DispatcherServlet should not be processing a request for a css resource.

If this does not help troubleshoot the problem, you may want to post relevant snippets of your web.xml and spring context file.
