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

The best solution I found for this problem is to use Java Configuration

@Configuration
 @EnableWebMvc
 public class WebAppConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
     
    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        
    registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/resources/");
    }
}
