1. If it is not / webjars / ** Resources
if (!registry.hasMappingForPattern("/webjars/**")) { this.customizeResourceHandlerRegistration(registry.addResourceHandler(new String[]{"/webjars/**"}).addResourceLocations(new String[]{"classpath:/META-INF/resources/webjars/"}).setCachePeriod(this.getSeconds(cachePeriod)).setCacheControl(cacheControl)); } String staticPathPattern = this.mvcProperties.getStaticPathPattern(); if (!registry.hasMappingForPattern(staticPathPattern)) { this.customizeResourceHandlerRegistration(registry.addResourceHandler(new String[]{staticPathPattern}).addResourceLocations(WebMvcAutoConfiguration.getResourceLocations(this.resourceProperties.getStaticLocations())).setCachePeriod(this.getSeconds(cachePeriod)).setCacheControl(cacheControl)); }
spring boot will look through this method getStaticLocations
public String[] getStaticLocations() { return this.staticLocations; }
Return staticLocations resource file by this method
private static final String[] CLASSPATH_RESOURCE_LOCATIONS = new String[]{"classpath:/META-INF/resources/", "classpath:/resources/", "classpath:/static/", "classpath:/public/"}; private String[] staticLocations; private boolean addMappings; private final ResourceProperties.Chain chain; private final ResourceProperties.Cache cache; public ResourceProperties() { this.staticLocations = CLASSPATH_RESOURCE_LOCATIONS; this.addMappings = true; this.chain = new ResourceProperties.Chain(); this.cache = new ResourceProperties.Cache(); }
From here you can see an array
"classpath:/META-INF/resources/",
"classpath:/resources/",
"classpath:/static/",
"classpath:/public/"}
So we can project static files into these folders
Example:
