Background
I am developing an application (with Spring MVC
) with its base path as:
http://localhost:8080/myapplication/
I have a stylesheet /css/style.css
that I am trying to refer with absolute path
in a JSP as:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/style.css" type="text/css" media="screen, projection">
Problem
The stylesheet never loads in the browser. When I follow the stylesheet link through browser's view source feature, the link appears to be:
http://localhost:8080/css/style.css
Which should have had been:
http://localhost:8080/myapplication/css/style.css
I used to fix this issue with html:rewrite
tag while working with Struts
. Is there any equivalent tag/technique in Spring MVC
?
Thanks for your time.
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">
