Managing static resources

If you look back at the com.nilangpatel.worldgdp.AppConfiguration class, you will see that we have overridden the addResourceHandlers method of WebMvcConfigurer interface. In the method implementation shown in the following code, we have mapped the static resources prefix URL /static/** to the static resources location /static/ in the webapp directory:

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