include a javascript file in a different folder in my index.html [duplicate]

Question

my index.html and my app .js are located in different folders

- WEB-INF
  --resources
    -js
      -app.js
  --views
    -index.html

I tried to import my app.js into my index.html using :

<script src="../resources/js/app.js"></script>

but it didn't work . I got this error :

GET http://localhost:8080/projectname/resources/js/app.js

You should consider the start point as reference, not your view's index.html path. Edit your question and provide the full structure if you want more help on this — Peyman Mohamadpour

Unless you use some IDE like VisualStudio, etc.

Files on your site's root folder are referred like this: src="/[fileInYourRootFolder]"

So files on a subfolder are referred like this:src="/[subfolder]/[fileInSubfolder]"
