title: SpringMVC project Configuration
body: <p>I have a <strong>Spring MVC</strong> project i have some resources like images and pictures that is being called by the application. I am getting a <strong>404 Not Found Error</strong> when i request the resources. E.g. I have a swf file his should be loaded with a page but it keeps giving the 404 message in <strong>firebug</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I have this file located outside the <strong>WEB-INF</strong> directory in a directory called swf. This was working previously and for some reason it stopped. Can someone assist me with the configuration details and location of where resources called by the application should be located. I am aware that files that the <strong>Spring</strong> container requests can be located inside the <strong>WEB-INF</strong> directory and all others must reside outside (i stand to be corrected on this).</p>
