Spring servlet not finding resources when accessing with trailing backslash

I'm facing a very strange problem. I'm working on a SpringMVC web based app and I'm redirecting every single URL to my FrontController, which is a DispatcherServlet.
I've recently discovered that everything works fine when I'm accessing URLs without a trailing backslash. For example, working locally, when I access to http://localhost:8080/aprv all the static resources are loaded perfectly.
But when I access http://localhost:8080/aprv/ static resources seem to be missing.
Reading Chrome's console I can see what the problem is:
It's adding /aprv/ prefix to the full resource path.
So when I'm using /aprv resources are /resources/template/images/feature/ENflag.jpg
But when using /aprv/ resources become /aprv/resources/template/images/feature/ENflag.jpg/
Why is this happening? How could I solve it?
Here is my app-config.xml where mvc:resources is declared:

Thank you for you help.

As #JBNizet mentioned in a comment, it was a relative paths problem.
As soon as I changed "resources/.../..." to "/resources/.../..." everything went ok.
Thank you!

I don't know why ´http:localhost:8080/ejemplospring/mail.html´ doesn't match with the url pattern .html?, I get a 404 error and if I try with / or / I get the same error.

Try to uncomment
<context:component-scan base-package="com.tutorial.ejemplospring" />
Seems that it is not finding the Controller and therefore not registering the Mapping.

Why do you have your ComponentScan commented out? You need to enable this (uncomment), so it finds your #Controller
This
<!-- <context:component-scan base-package="com.tutorial.ejemplospring" />-->
needs to be:
<context:component-scan base-package="com.tutorial.ejemplospring" />

First issue is that you have to enable component scanning for the beans to be created.
Second one is that Spring MVC by default ignores the the extension in the URL, as it's to be used for specific purposes like .json/.xml would indicate to Spring MVC that you need data in JSON or XML format.
So your URL should be mail.html.someExtension ie. mail.html.do.
If you don't want to do that and you absolutely must have the extension as it is then you can use following configuration to enable extension mapping.
<bean id="contentNegotiationManager" class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="favorPathExtension" value="false" />
</bean>
Otherwise simplest way would be to just use some simple URL like /mail without any extension.

404 Error on Google App Engine Java Production

I have been working with Google App Engine for last 3 years but never faced any such issue before. I have created a project using Spring-4 and Objectify.
The issue I am facing is that on local all URLs are working fine, but when I am deploying the same to the appspot I am getting 404 errors on the URLs which needs to return the JSP pages, although the URL which should return the JSON or XML response those URL are working fine.
Appengine logs are also not providing any relevant information. I cannot understand just one thing that if it running fine locally why is it not working on appspot.
Following are my configuration files.

Spring MVC resources (.js, .css, .png) being "aborted" before complete load in browser

I have a web application that I'm writing with a base of Spring, Sitemesh, JPA, and Shiro. This is actually my first go around with most of these frameworks as I have been using Struts/ibatis for a long time.
The problem that I'm getting is strange and I have done a few days of research and trial and error and found nothing. I have intermittent problems on page refresh in the browser where the resource loads get aborted. They seem to get partially loaded at times, and other times they are completely missing.
The server set up is tomcat/apache.
I have looked on the server side and there are no errors that I can see.

As an example I pull in resources like this on the default decorator.
<script src="<c:url value="/resources/js/functions.js" />" type="text/javascript"></script>
This only seems to happen when you refresh the page, and what it decides to load or not load is sporadic in regards to anything under /resources.

The only answer I could find was to move the resources outside of the application, that was the only way we could get them to load correctly 100% of the time, in other words, we took the resources and created a filter in apache to pull in those resources to be served through apache as opposed to serving them from tomcat.

404 Error: "The requested resource /Controller is not available"

I have setup Spring MVC 3.0 & Hibernate on Apache Tomcat and got the application to launch without any errors.
However I’m available to route requests from my (welcome file) redirect.jsp to the home controller (/Home).
This is what is supposed to happen:
Welcome file redirect.jsp sends request using <%response.sendRedirect(/Home)%>
My home controller (/home) returns the view index which is in WEB-INF/views
This is my web.xml: I mapped the home controller (/Home) via annotation and inweb.xml however its still not being found.

Most controllers will use the ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping above, but
for the index controller we are using ParameterizableViewController, so we must
define an explicit mapping for it.

However I’m getting a 404 Error,
The requested resource (/Home) is not available.
What I would actually like to do is to remove the redirect.jsp, have the application go to \Home controller on launch/startup, and the \Home controller returns the index view or any other view.

The first thing I noticed is that in your web.xml, you call your config location applicationContext.xml, but you later described it as application-context.xml. Make sure it is actually named applicationContext.xml. Also, you can remove the "Home" servlet from your web.xml; this will be handled by Spring through your dispatcherServlet. Finally, in your SimpleUrlHandlerMapping, you define the mapping to be index.html, but you need to also define Home if you want requests to Home to be handled by indexController. Hope that helps.
