How include external css in jsp page?

Question

I have a folder called css with inside login.css file. At the same level as this folder, I have login.jsp file. How do I include external css in jsp page?

I tried with

<html>
<head>
<title> Login Page </title>
         <link href ="css/login.css" type ="text/css" rel ="stylesheet"></link>
...

but it does not work.

If it can be useful in the top login.jsp page is written:

<%@ taglib uri='http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core' prefix='c'%>

Thanks.

For one thing you need to get rid of the spaces around the "/" characters, both in the "href" and in the "type". — Pointy

Aside from the </link> (which will be ignored), you do it like that. — Quentin

This is a mistake of copy and paste. I've updated the question. — django

I have this class

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ComponentScan("noughtsandcrosses")
public class DemoAppConfig implements WebMvcConfigurer {
    @Bean
    public ViewResolver viewResolver() {
        final InternalResourceViewResolver bean = new InternalResourceViewResolver();

        bean.setViewClass(JstlView.class);
        bean.setPrefix("/WEB-INF/view/pages/");
        bean.setSuffix(".jsp");



        return bean;
    }


    public void addResourceHandlers(final ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**")
                .addResourceLocations("/resources/");
    }
}

for this app structure:

and import like this:

 <link type="text/css"
          rel="stylesheet"
          href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/resources/css/index.css">

There's no </link> tag! Replace like the below:

<link href="css/login.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

Do not give spaces after and before the slashes. Also there's no </link> tag! Replace the below:

</ title>
         <link href = "css / login.css" type = "text / css" rel = "stylesheet"> </ link>

With the below:

</title>
         <link href="css/login.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />

With ' <link href="css/login.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" /> ' doesn't work.

Is the file css/login.css actually exist?

django Over a year ago

Yes, it is in css folder. @Praveen Kumar for this reason I can not see where the problem is.

Try opening it from the browser and let us know what's happening. It might even be a server fault!

django Over a year ago

Via the browser with this url: 'localhost:8080/ProjectName/css/login.css' it returns 404 error.
