Hi All,

I have one strange issue, JSP cannot Identify the JS, CSS file path when URL pattern is /*. Let me explain in detail.

Irrespective of relative path my application should have to call Home.jsp. So for that I have specified URL pattern as /*. This logic is working fine.
The application is calling JSP page but It cannot call the JS file. In the below Sample code I try to print two alert massages. But I am able to see only one alert message "welcome". Not able to see the alert message in Hi.js file. I tried with all possible scenarios by changing path but its not working. CAN ANY BODY PLEASE HELP ME IN THIS.

One more thing I have to mention here when I change the URL pattern to some /xyz its working fine. Please Help me in this issue.

My Directory Structure.

RedirectApp
+-----WEB-INF
+-----Home.jsp
+-----Hi.js
Web.xml

<servlet>
    <description></description>
    <display-name>Hello</display-name>
    <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
    <jsp-file>/Home.jsp</jsp-file>    
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>Hello</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

you can try

<script language="javascript" 
        type="text/javascript" 
        src="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/Hi.js">
</script>
