Unable to Map static resource correctly

My Project structure is as follows

|src

|--main

|---webapp

|----static

|-----CSS

|-----HTML

|-----js

I am trying to return an HTML resource via my controller for links that are directly under root there is no issue but for other links, I am facing problems.

Here is my controller

@Controller
public class HtmlServer {


    @RequestMapping({"/", "/index", "/index.html", "/index.jsp", "/home","/home.html","/home.jsp"})
    public ModelAndView index() {
        return new ModelAndView("html/index.html");
    }


    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/support/{id}/{accessToken}")
    public ModelAndView start(@PathVariable Long id, @PathVariable String accessToken)  {
        return new ModelAndView("html/index.html");
    }

}

Here is my WebMvcConfigurerAdapter extending class

@Component
@ConfigurationProperties
@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
public class ApplicationConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter  {

@Bean
    public InternalResourceViewResolver internalResourceViewResolver(){
        InternalResourceViewResolver internalResourceViewResolver = new InternalResourceViewResolver();
        internalResourceViewResolver.setPrefix("static/");
        return internalResourceViewResolver;
    }

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

    @Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addResourceHandler("/js/**").addResourceLocations("static/js/")
                .setCachePeriod(0);
        registry.addResourceHandler("/css/**").addResourceLocations("static/css/")
                .setCachePeriod(0);
        registry.addResourceHandler("/support/**").addResourceLocations("/static/")
                .setCachePeriod(0);

    }

}

When I open / or /index.html the controller returns the given value and in return i am served the correct resource.

But when I try to use /support/1/xsdda I am mapped to /support/1/static/html/index.html Can someone explain the internals and logically point out my mistake.

Thanks!

Create folder WEB-INF inside webapp and put your HTML folder inside it

  • set prefix of resolver to /WEB-INF/HTML/
  • set suffix of resolver to .html
  • call it by returning "index"

The Servlet 2.4 specification says this about WEB-INF (page 70):

A special directory exists within the application hierarchy named WEB-INF. This directory contains all things related to the application that aren’t in the document root of the application. The WEB-INF node is not part of the public document tree of the application. No file contained in the WEB-INF directory may be served directly to a client by the container. However, the contents of the WEB-INF directory are visible to servlet code using the getResource and getResourceAsStream method calls on the ServletContext, and may be exposed using the RequestDispatcher calls.
