Spring boot project not load resources

I have spring boot project with this structure

srs-
 -main
   -java
      -MvcConfigurer.java
      -LkApplication.java
   -resource
      -static
         -css
      -templates
         -layout
           -defoultLayout.ftl
           -header.ftl
           -footer.ftl
        -index.ftl

in defoultLayout.ftl I include CSS file

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <link rel='stylesheet' href='../../static/css/bootstrap.min.css'>
    <link rel='stylesheet' href='../../static/css/core.css'>
</head>

But it not loaded. I have some project with like structure and them all loaded but this not.

My classes:

@SpringBootApplication
public class LkApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(LkApplication.class, args);
    }
}

and 

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class MvcConfigurer extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
    @Bean
    public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
        FreeMarkerViewResolver resolver = new FreeMarkerViewResolver();
        resolver.setCache(true);
        resolver.setPrefix("");
        resolver.setSuffix(".ftl");
        resolver.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
        return resolver;
    }

    @Bean
    public FreeMarkerConfigurer freemarkerConfig() throws IOException, TemplateException {
        FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory factory = new FreeMarkerConfigurationFactory();
        factory.setTemplateLoaderPaths("classpath:templates", "src/main/resource/templates");
        factory.setDefaultEncoding("UTF-8");
        FreeMarkerConfigurer result = new FreeMarkerConfigurer();
        result.setConfiguration(factory.createConfiguration());
        return result;
    }

    @Override
    public void configureDefaultServletHandling(
            DefaultServletHandlerConfigurer configurer) {
        configurer.enable();
    }
}

How can I load resources files to my springboot project? I use: springboot,freemarker,bootstrap

What worked for me, was:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="bootstrap-3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css" />
<script src="jquery/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
<script src="bootstrap-3.3.7/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>

The default location in SpringBoot is:

  • /META-INF/resources/
  • /resources/
  • /static/
  • /public/

Which means the starting point is already in the right directory and you need to go from there, i.e.:

bootstrap-3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css

No slashes or anything upfront!

Spring Boot by default looks for resources at resources directory. I had the same problem in my prject.

change the directory name resource to resources // note s at the end

after this change, refresh project, it will work

If it's maven or gradle, the standard folder structure should be src/main/resources. The build will then place them in your (assuming) executable spring boot jar.

Providing you don't have security blocking any endpoints you should be able to reference the files as follows;

<link rel='stylesheet' href='/css/core.css'>

note 'static' is stripped from the path.
