CSS problems from No mapping found for HTTP request with URI warning

Question

I am having an issue with resolving the path of my CSS files whenever I add anything to my RequestMapping path. In the example below, if I change

@RequestMapping(value="/articles/view", method = RequestMethod.GET)

to

@RequestMapping(value="/articles", method = RequestMethod.GET)

it works fine. I'm also having problems mapping my css files if I attempt to use path variables. My css files are sitting in a folder called /data/css where /data is at the same level as my /WEB-INF.

ArticlesAction.java:

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@Controller
public class ArticlesAction {

    @RequestMapping(value="/articles/view", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String printWelcome(ModelMap model) {

        //model.addAttribute("id", id);
        return "articles";

    }
}

Try to use special mvc:resources tag:

<mvc:resources location="/, classpath:/META-INF/web-resources/" mapping="/resources/**"/>

To use it add "mvc" namespace to your mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml
