I have tried different approaches in order to invoke a javascript form jsp using Spring MVC, all failed:
- Spring MVC – How to include JS or CSS files in a JSP page
- Spring MVC 4.2.2 – Best way to Add/Integrate JS, CSS and images into JSP file using ‘mvc:resources mapping’
- StackOverflow: How to include js and CSS in JSP with spring MVC
- StackOverflow: Spring MVC - include static files / javascript , css
- StackOverflow: How include an external JS file in a JSP page
- StackOverflow: STS Spring MVC: How to include a JS file in a JSP
This is my project structure:
And index.jsp:
<%@taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="<c:url value="/WEB-INF/resources/scripts.js" />"></script>
</head>
<body>
<button onclick="hello()">Click here...</button>
</body>
</html>
Here is dispatcher-servlet.xml:
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/WEB-INF/resources/" />

Finally scripts.js:
function hello(){
alert('Hola');
}
When I press the button I get these errors:
- Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)
- ReferenceError: Can't find variable: hello
