Answer 1

1. Using Custom Resource Path

In your Web Config

@Override
public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
  if (!registry.hasMappingForPattern("/assets/**")) {
     registry.addResourceHandler("/assets/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/assets/");
  }
}

Put your style.css file inside this folder

src/main/resources/assets/css/

After that in your views

.

2. Using predefined paths in spring boot

Remove addResourceHandlers from your web config

Put the style.css inside any of the following folders

• src/main/resources/META-INF/resources/assets/css
• src/main/resources/resources/assets/css/
• src/main/resources/static/assets/css/
• src/main/resources/public/assets/css/

And in the view

.

NOTE: You can remove the assets folder here. If you want to do it, remove it from the predefined resource folder and also from the view th:href. But i kept it as it is because, you explicitly mentioned the assets/ path in your question. So I belive it's your requirement to have assets/ in your resource URL.
