my web configuration

finally image want add

<img src="<c:url value="/resources/captcha/13.png"/>"/> 

but log displays this:

am missing more configuration?

thanks

when try access /resources/captcha/13.png

it mapped default servlet virtue of

<servlet-mapping>     <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>     <url-pattern>*.png</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> 

it not mapped /resources/captcha/ because resources looks paths have pattern of type http://localhost:8080/captcha/* , not ones http://localhost:8080/resources/captcha/* handle such requests, need have view resolver respond /resources/* pattern

something like

@requestmapping(path = '/resources/*') public object handler(){...} 

my guess want render png image static resource , should have <img src="<c:url value="/resources/captcha/13.png"/>"/>.

note: not sure suggested works or not. answering solely based on memory , have not tested of situations mentioned.
