why when adding path variable to the controller it blocks css and js

Question

I'm using @PathVariable to obtain some placeholder from the uri this is the function from my controller

@RequestMapping(value = "/mail_detail/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String showCourrierDetail(@PathVariable("id") String id) {
    //System.out.println("id="+id);
    return "mail_detail";
}

It redirects me to jsp page named mail_detail My problem is that when I add the path variable, the jsp page don't read the css files although when I use

@RequestMapping(value = "/mail_detail", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public
 String showmail() {


    return "mail_detail";
}

It works and reads all the css files

can you tell me how your CSS <link> in your HTML looks like ? — Nikhil Nanjappa

Ok. can you add a / before resources and check? It should look like - <link href="/resources/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"> — Nikhil Nanjappa

I think the problem isn't from the jsp file because it works perfectly for me on the other controllers but I don't know why while using a controller with a variable path on it ,it shows me the page without loading css files — Wassim Makni

if your file is a jsp file you may prefix ${pageContext.request.contextPath}in the URL, like <link href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/resources/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">.
