Mapping resources with Spring MVC

Question

I first setup Spring MVC to handle all urls.

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>HelloWeb</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

And the dispatcher servlet mapped resources.

<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/VAADIN/resource/" />

This worked fine, but now I want to change Spring so that it only handle's '/search/' URLs.

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>HelloWeb</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/search/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

This works but my resources no longer work. I think it's because it's looking for the resources in /search/resources rather than /resources. But I'm not sure.

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Thanks!

You can make your static resources visible , configure the static resources in your web.xml.

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/VAADIN/resource/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

_{If VAADIN is the project name , need not specify it here}

The project name is safesite. Full url of resources is "localhost/safesite/VAADIN/resource/" I added that to my web.xml but now my other URLs for a different Dispatcher Servlet don't work.

The project name is safesite. Full url of resources is "localhost/safesite/VAADIN/resource/" I added that to my web.xml with "default" changed to HelloWeb. Now going to the URL /safesite/resources/images/map.jpg works. Thanks!
