java - Spring-Jersey : How to return static content? -

question :

1. how expose css/, images/, js/ , other static files?
2. how return jsp page in controller (not string method) index view?

problems :

1. in efforts solve question #1 other projects use filter jersey.config.servlet.filter.staticcontentregex (as seen here stackoverflow question) haven't been able find dependencies work correctly/at project setup.
2. in efforts solve question #2 attempted introduce dependencies use viewable. problem - transitive dependencies adversely affect webapp using appropriate classes spring & jersey (snowballs rabbit hole of nebulous errors)

"how expose css/, images/, js/ , other static files?"

the jersey.config.servlet.filter.staticcontentregex property should work, need specify possible patterns types of files want serve. easier way use property jersey.config.servlet.filter.forwardon404, pointed out in this answer. , yes both choices, need configure jersey filter, rather servlet. web.xml might

<filter>     <filter-name>jersey</filter-name>     <filter-class>org.glassfish.jersey.servlet.servletcontainer</filter-class>     <init-param>         <param-name>javax.ws.rs.application</param-name>         <param-value>com.component.resourceregister</param-value>     </init-param>     <!-- pass next filter if jersey/app returns 404 -->     <init-param>         <param-name>jersey.config.servlet.filter.forwardon404</param-name>         <param-value>true</param-value>     </init-param> </filter>  <filter-mapping>     <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>     <filter-name>jersey</filter-name> </filter-mapping> 

"how return jsp page in controller (not string method) index view?"

first thing need jsp mvc dependency

<dependency>     <groupid>org.glassfish.jersey.ext</groupid>     <artifactid>jersey-mvc-jsp</artifactid>     <version>2.25</version> </dependency> 

then need register feature

public resourceregister () {     ...     register(jspmvcfeature.class); } 

then need specify template base path jsp pages. example used /web-inf/jsp

public resourceregister () {     ...     property(jspmvcfeature.template_base_path, "/web-inf/jsp"); } 

so case, jsp files should located in /web-inf/jsp directory.

example jsp , controller

index.jsp

<html>     <head>         <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252">         <title>jsp page</title>         <link href="css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet">     </head>     <body>         <h1>${it.hello} ${it.world}</h1>     </body> </html> 

controller

@path("/") public class homecontroller {      @get     @produces(mediatype.text_html)     public viewable index() {         map<string, string> model = new hashmap<>();         model.put("hello", "hello");         model.put("world", "world");         return new viewable("/index", model);     } }  public resourceregister () {     ...     register(homecontroller.class); } 

here /index in viewable points index.jsp (we don't need .jsp extension). jersey knows how find file property set above.
