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:

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

We have added a few static resources (both CSS and JavaScript) in the /src/main/webapp/static folder of the project. Please download the code of this chapter and refer to them side by side.
