Question

Answer 1

file:/// is an absolute URL pointing to the root of the filesystem and, therefore, file:///./ext-resources/ means that Spring Boot is looking for resources in a directory named ext-resources in the root.

Update your configuration to use something like file:ext-resources/ as the URL.
