How to access static resources when mapping a global front controller servlet on /*

Question

I\'ve mapped the Spring MVC dispatcher as a global front controller servlet on /*.

Answer 1

I've run into this also and never found a great solution. I ended up mapping my servlet one level higher in the URL hierarchy:

       
  home             
  /app/*     

And now everything at the base context (and in your /res directory) can be served up by your container.
