I have a Spring MVC application it uses jquery.webcam.js this file is located in a js folder in the resources directory on WAR -resources -js,css.. - WEB-INF. Thats the basic structure in the js directory there is a jquery.webcam.js.
When the form that uses jquery.webcam.js and other custom js files is fired its ok it finds all the js files. However on that form i click a button and i am then posted to another page, on this page i have a hyper link that has a url of "getData/${id}.htm". When i click on the hlink i am taken to the controller which has a mapping for this url:
@RequestMapping(value="getData/{id}.htm", method = RequestMethod.GET)
In the controller a select is preformed from the database and an object is returned to the previous page (first form - that uses the jquery.webcam.js). When i am returned to that page i am getting in firebug a 404 error for the jquery.webcam.js file.
Upon further inspection the url for the location of my resources has changed from http://localhost:8080/myApp/jquery.webcam.js to http://localhost:8080/myApp/getData/jquery.webcam.js
Why has getData now became part of the resources url and how can this be fixed?
Script files should be loaded like below..
If your js folder is under resource folder.
<script src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/js/jquery.webcam.js"></script>
