I am having trouble connecting an external css and javascript file to its jsp.
I tried doing the WebConfig as I read on google but I realised that my jsp files' path are done via application.properties so when it ran it override the application.properties and the .jsp could not be found. I deleted the WebConfig and stuck with the application.properties and tried to add a filepath for css
spring.mvc.view.prefix=/WEB-INF/views/ spring.mvc.view.suffix=.jsp spring.web.resources.statstaticic-locations=classpath:/static/,classpath:/public/,classpath:/resources/,classpath:/META-INF/resources/ These made the JSP run but it could not read the css.
File Path for JSP:src-> main -> webapp-> home.jsp home.jsp:
<head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="c:url value='/css/home.css' />"> <title>Project One</title> </head> <body>File Path for CSS:src-> main-> resources-> static-> css-> home.css
I am not sure if this matters but these are the dependencies I am using (gradle):
dependencies { implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web' developmentOnly 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-devtools' testImplementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test' implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa' runtimeOnly 'com.mysql:mysql-connector-j' runtimeOnly 'org.apache.tomcat.embed:tomcat-embed-jasper:10.1.9' //jsp runtimeOnly 'org.glassfish.web:jakarta.servlet.jsp.jstl:3.0.0' //helpful jsp tags
