MyEclipse: css not found?

Post subject: css not found?

I have a tomcat application that will rely heavily on css/js. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get my stylesheets picked up in tomcat, but they are in Eclipse. here is my dir structure (edited for brevity):

project
|-src
|-webapp
|-- WEB-INF
|---css
\---default.css
|---javascript

Here is my html:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<link href="WEB-INF/css/default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<div id="header">
   <h1>
      Office Name
   </h1>
</div>
<div id="navigation">
   <ul>
      <li>
         <a href="#">Home</a>
      </li>
      <li>
         <a href="#">About</a>
      </li>
      <li>
         <a href="#">Services</a>
      </li>
      <li>
         <a href="#">Contact us</a>
      </li>
   </ul>
</div>
<div id="aside">
   <h3>
      Aside heading
   </h3>
   <p>
      Various menu choices go here
   </p>
</div>
<div id="content-container">
   <div id="content">
      <h2>
         Page heading
      </h2>
      <p>
         paragraph one
      </p>
      <p>
         paragraph two
      </p>
      <p>
         paragraph three
      </p>
   </div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">
   Copyright © me, 2011
</div>
</html>

But it feels like the web.xml is not allowing the css or js files thru. So here it is:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="3.0" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd">
<display-name>project</display-name>

<context-param>
   <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
   <param-value>classpath:applicationContext.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
   <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<listener>
   <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<servlet>
   <servlet-name>project</servlet-name>
   <servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet</servlet-class>
      <init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.config.property.packages</param-name>
<param-value>com.project.resources</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
   <servlet-name>project</servlet-name>
   <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>

Any ideas?

sonoerin ,

Can you try placing the CSS files under the WEBROOT folder instead of WEB-INF folder?

Let us know how it works for you.

I moved my css/default.css under webapp/ and it was still not picked up. When I try and view the css directly in the browswer with "css/default.css" I get a 404.

sonoerin ,

Your directory structure is different from MyEclipse directory structure. So you will have to create a new web project in MyEclipse and copy the files of your Eclipse project to the corresponding folders to be able to work with MyEclipse.

I suggest you create a new Web project in MyEclipse IDE and place the CSS files in the WEBROOT folder of the project. This should fix the issue.

Here is a tutorial on web projects in MyEclipse which will help you :
