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

Add the folders which you don't want to trigger servlet processing to the section of your appengine-web.xml file.

I just did this and looks like things are starting to work ok. Here's my structure:

/

/pages/<.jsp files>

/css

I added "/pages/**" and "/css/**" to the section and I can now forward to a .jsp file from inside a servlet doGet without causing an infinite loop.
