Lesson 9: Developing Web Applications (Resources)

Introduction

Shows how you can serve static resources from a Spring Boot application.

Building and running the sample

Use the following commands to build run the application:

$ mvn clean package
$ java -jar target/livelessons-web-resources-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar

Understanding the code

The src/main/resources folder includes public, resources and static subfolders which can all be used to serve content.

WebJars

This example also shows how it is possible to serve JavaScript and CSS resources from webjars. This is automatically configured by Spring Boot so all you need to do is declare WebJar dependencies in your pom.xml

Bower

If you need something more complicated that WebJars you might consider a full JavaScript build-chain. This example includes an example using the popular Bower dependency manager. To regenerate the bower sources type the following (assuming that you have installed bower):

$ bower install
