I have created Struts2 application using Maven. In this application I have created two namespaces, first is tc and the second one is cmpui. From the JSP page, I am trying to access .css files, but it is giving me 404 error.
Location of JSP page is :
webapp\tc\layout\stylesheets.jsp
Location of CSS file is :
WEB-INF\css\default.css
Code on JSP page is
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../WEB-INF/css/default.css">
Any suggestion please.
You can not access a resources that are under WEB-INF folder. Move your static resources to another place accessible by Struts2 (for example, web root). And use s:url tag to build the URL.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="<s:url value='/css/default.css'/>">

I have a web application developed in Java, and it is in Maven structure. I added the favicon.png to src/main/resources location and used the following tagline in JSP.
<head>
<link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="favicon.png"/>
</head>
But unfortunately the favicon is not visible. How can I fix this issue?
The favicon should be in your context root.
If you have src\main\webapp place it there, also if you want to load from classpath place it in src\main\resources\META-INF\resources
NOTE: If your application have context other than root (i.e. \) then you have to append it to the href.
I try to add a CSS file to an JSP which is running on tomcat 8. The CSS just changes the appearance of tables. The CSS file is in the same folder as the JSP. I tried using:
<link href="table.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
but it didn't show any changes. So I tried:
<style type="text/css">
<%# include file="./table.css" %>
</style>
But this gives me a weird error, when I try to reach the page in my browser on the first try I get 404 - Resource not found but when I try again it works. What can cause this and is there an easier way to import my CSS file in the JSP? I use a servlet to reach the JSP if that matters.
Edit:// I just checked the WAR File i exported and the WEB-INF Folder only contains my classes the Folders of the HTML and JSP Sites are on the root directory of the WAR file.
I'd put all your .css files in a folder named /css right under the root of your WAR. The path would be css/table.css.
Same for JavaScript: create a folder named /js right under the root of your WAR. The path to JavaScript is js/foo.js
I have a css file in my WEB-INF folder and in a jsp page i have given the location of the css file as :
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/WEB-INF/Tabs.css"
But the problem is it doesn't link with the css file. If i take out the css file from the WEB-INF, it works perfectly.
This is my first time working with css.
What seems to be the problem here ?
Thank you for your time.
The problem here is just as you describe it, the location of the css-file.
All resources located within the WEB-INF-folder is not reachable directly from the web browser, but has to be accessed through a servlet.
And this is the reason of why the css isn't loaded when you are visiting your jsp.
Try instead to put them in a more common structure such as /webapp/resources/css/Tabs.css and change the href to ${pageContext.request.contextPath}/webapp/resources/css/Tabs.css
**Edit **
The folder I refer to as webapp might have any name, but the location of it would be the parent folder of the WEB-INF folder.
I'm creating a Play! 2.1.1 application which I have packaged into a war file using Play2War. This required me to add a context, application.context=/theApp/, in the application.conf file.
I deployed the WAR file to a tomcat7 server which resulted in the url localhost:8080/theApp/.
CSS/JS files load when the url is for example http://localhost:8080/theApp/thisseemstowork, but once the url is http://localhost:8080/theApp/thisoughttowork/180 none of the CSS/JS files are loaded. I simply get
GET http://localhost:8080/theApp/thisoughttowork/public/javascripts/vendor/bootstrap.min.js 404 (Not Found)
This is how I link to the js file in the views:
<script src="public/javascripts/vendor/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
This is in my routes file
GET /public/*file controllers.Assets.at(path="/public", file)
Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? Let me know if you need any more info.
You need to use the Assets controller and reverse-routing.
<script src="#routes.Assets.at("javascripts/vendor/bootstrap.min.js")"></script>
This will generate the correct path no matter where you are in the app. As you can see from the routes file snippet you posted the path is relative to the /public folder, so this will work for any stylesheets, images, etc you put in there.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#Assets.at("stylesheets/bootstrap.min.css")">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#Assets.at("other/folder/styles.css")">
Here's Play's documentation:

If i browse my site using http://localhost:8080/abc/Login/index.jsf, everything works fine. But if browse it using simply http://localhost:8080/abc, the page is shown but all its images and css files are missing. What can be the problem?
I have this in my web.xml :-
<form-login-config>
<form-login-page>/Login/index.jsf</form-login-page>
<form-error-page>/Login/index.jsf</form-error-page>
</form-login-config>
Probably, images are not getting referenced correctly. Can anybody help me?
I have referenced css file as follows :-
<link href="./Css/MainStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
where Css is folder in Login
Your problem (as you guessed) comes from how you have referenced the CSS.
Probably the easiest way to fix it is to be more specific with your reference:
<link href="/abc/Login/Css/MainStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This reference should work regardless of where the calling file is in your directory structure.
