Spring MVC absolute URL problem

Question

Background

I am developing an application (with Spring MVC) with its base path as:

http://localhost:8080/myapplication/         


        

Answer 1

Use the JSTL c:url tag.

<c:url value="/css/style.css" var="url" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="${url}" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">

You can also use the pageContext to prefix the context path.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
