Spring JS provides a generic ResourceServlet to serve web resources such as JavaScript and CSS files from jar files, as well as the webapp root directory. This servlet provides a convenient way to serve Spring.js files to your pages. To deploy this servlet, declare the following in web.xml:

<!-- Serves static resource content from .jar files such as spring-js.jar -->
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>Resource Servlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.js.resource.ResourceServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
        
<!-- Map all /resources requests to the Resource Servlet for handling -->
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Resource Servlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/resources/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
