I started doing a web app from scratch. Before I've always been working on apps that were already running for a long time, so I didn't have to deal with the full setup phase. I am using Spring 3 and Tomcat 6, and I am using Eclipse 3.6
I've a big problem with serving images (or other things different from controller responses). In fact I can't find a way to have my images in my jsps. My configuration, works with:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>springDispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
in web.xml and
<bean name="/accise" class="it.jsoftware.jacciseweb.controllers.MainController">
</bean>
for the servlet context (plus other of course).
I've read many messages here and other forums talking about this:
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />
but if I insert that in my servlet-context.xml, I will be able to serve images, yet the controller "accise" won't be reachable. Am I misusing or I misunderstood the resources tag? What's the correct way?
Update solution found!!! :)
The problem was that my servlet-config.xml missed one declaration:
Now it is(using annotations on the controller):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
