Tomcat does not find the resources

  • 772

Well I have an application with AngularJS that makes requests to the API gitHubas an example to learn how to use AngularJS, but the problem is that when I put the page with all the dependencies in a Dynamic Web ProjectJava (I do this because I need to use REST services defined with Jersey ), and I run it with Tomcat 8.0.36, it gives me the following errors in the Chrome dev console (I try it in Chrome because in the browser EclipseI don't have a developer console to trace the errors).

The first time I try to log in localhost:8080/MissingDog, this happens: error log Then it shows this log when I keep trying to log in: Error Log 2 This is the log if I open the index.html directly from a folder, without putting it inside the Java Dynamic Web Project: Error Log 3

I leave you my directory tree of the Java project ( MascotaService.jsit is not implemented yet, it does nothing):

    The error images show the cause of the problem, along with the image of your project structure. Your resources are inside the folder WEB-INF, which is not visible to browsers . Java application servers do not display the contents of this folder.

    To solve your problem, simply move the location files to outside of the WEB-INF. The structure of your project would be as follows:

    WebContent
- META-INF
- resources (aquí van tus recursos JS, CSS, etc)
  - css
  - fonts
  - images
  - js
  - lib
  - (otras carpetas...)
- WEB-INF
  + web.xml
  - (otros archivos y carpetas para la configuración de tu proyecto como web.xml)

  2. Just a little clarification, the files in the web-inf folder can be accessed, only web pages (jsp, xhtml, html), but to access the files inside this folder, you have to go through a controller, they will not be accessible to through a url, which is a good practice for security and follows the MVC pattern.

    Cheers
