Root Directory in XML

[Mikael Romo]

Good day Masters,

I need your help guys.. Im now studying about how to use spring 3 mvc for our upcoming project. while im experimenting i've encountered this problem.

my current structure of directory is attached.

Setup for dispatcher-servlet.xml

	<context:component-scan base-package="com.acn.controller" />
	
	<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
		<property name="prefix" value="/" />
		<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
	</bean>

Setup for web.xml

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
	</servlet>
	
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

how to setup this files to instruct spring 3 that JSPs and images are in root directory?

most of examples in the web are always using this code

for dispatcher-servlet.xml

	<context:component-scan base-package="com.acn.controller" />
	
	<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
		<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/pages/" />
		<property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
	</bean>

for web.xml

	<servlet>
		<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
		<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
	</servlet>
	
	<servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/pages/*</url-pattern>
	</servlet-mapping>

Thank you and God bless you all.
