I confirm that the sitemesh is working fine because when i change the url pattern the sitemesh is not working.

It seems that all the script and css from this jsp cannot be applied.

What wrong with it ?

Please help.

Answer 1

Try adding following tag in context xml. This will specify which directory contains the static resources. Change location as per your need.

<mvc:resources location="/resources/" mapping="/resources/**" />
