I need to expose some static content (xsd files that are required by the wsdl). I cannot use the mvn:resources since it is not available in Spring 3.0.0

I don't have an idea as to where the static content should go. Hope someone can help me.

In my web.xml i have

    <servlet>
        <servlet-name>Resources</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.ResourceServlet</servlet-class>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>Resources</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/resources/*</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

then in the webapp dir I added a resources dir with the static files. 

% ls webapp 
index.jsp  META-INF  resources  WEB-INF

can someone tell me where the static content should go.

thanks much.

Dont forget this one aswell:

<!-- Allows for mapping the DispatcherServlet to "/" by forwarding static resource 
requests to the container's default Servlet -->
<mvc:default-servlet-handler/>

You wrote

This is complete wrong!

mvn:resources is avaiable in Spring mvc namespace for version 3.0.0 3.0.4

See the xsd: http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd
