Spring static content not found

Question

I am trying to use resources using Spring MVC. I have a class WebApplicationContextConfig that extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter and in there I am overriding method addResourceHandlers:

@Override
    public void addResourceHandlers(ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        registry.addResourceHandler("/img/**")
                .addResourceLocations("/resources/");
    }

In folder resources I have three images. But when I go in browser to get some image, for ex: http://localhost:8080/img/P123.jpeg I got 404 error.

Am I missing something?

you map an external URI to the physical path where resources are located so a request start with /img is mapped to physical path /resources under the web root application (webapp/resources) so your request should be http://localhost:8080/img/P123.jpeg
your request should start with your servlet mapping: if your servelt mapping is my-app your request should be http://localhost:8080/my-app/img/P123.jpeg
check that your resources folder is under webapp folder

I made a mistake in a url path, of course it was the one that you wrote. However, what do you mean by saying webapp folder? I am placing all images in src/main/resources, should I move it somewhere else?

Ok so everything is clear now, I had my image in "main" resources folder, not in webapp resources folder, when I moved images to /webapp/resources/ everything is working fine.

if you put images in src/main/resources the location should be .addResourceLocations("classpath:/");

So "/" means main project "resources" directory? And if for ex. I create directory "images" in "resources", when adding resource location I should write "/resources/images/"?

"classpath:/images/" instead
