Spring 3 MVC error : No mapping found for css or image files

Spring 3 MVC error : No mapping found for css or image files. 

Solution: Place the static content inside the resource folder within your webapp folder. Make sure to have following config in servlet-context.xml file :

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

The jsp or html page will take the static content files with correct path specified relative to resource folder.
