I had a java script in my JSP, which worked fine. Now I want to move it to it's own file (abc.js). I created js-Folder and placed it there.
I tried to include it with <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="./js/abc.js"></script> which links to http://localhost:8080/ProjectName/js/abc.js (from link in HTML-Code of the page). I think this should be correct, isn't it?
Nevertheless I get errors in the browser console (Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 () abc.js)
Do I have to register the .js somewhere to be recognized?
Edit: My project structure is like this:
ProjectName
|---WEB-INF
|---page.jsp (that wants to include abc.js)
|---js
|---abc.js
The WEB-INF directory is not publicly accessible. Your HTML file accesses the JS file over an public URL. Details see here: Include javascript file from inside WEB-INF
So the solution for your problem is to place the JS file on the same level as the WEB-INF directory, so that it is served publicly and adjust the src link accordingly:
<script type="text/javascript" src="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/js/abc.js"></script>

I just set up a very basic Spring Boot Web Application with Thymeleaf, but I can't access my external JS file from the corresponding HTML file of my template and can't figure out why.
My resource folder structure is as follows:
static/
index.html
css/
graph.css
js/
createGraph.js
templates/
visualizeGraph.html
Within my visualizeGraph.html I try to call the createGraph.js using following snippet within the <body> element:
<script th:src="#{/js/createGraph.js}" type="text/javascript" >
</script>
In the <head> element of visualizeGraph.html, I added my stylesheet using following snippet:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all"
href="/css/graph.css" th:href="#{/css/graph.css}" />
My Spring Boot Web Container runs on Port :8082, so I access my webapplication from localhost:8082 and access the visualizeGraph template from localhost:8082/visualizeGraph
When I check the Developer Console (F12), it throws a 404 for the createGraph.js file, but not for the graph.css file -> it can find the css successfully.
I can even access the css through localhost:8082/css/graph.css but CAN'T access the js-file using localhost:8082/js/createGraph.js (throws a 404 - as expected)
I can't figure, what's the cause for this phenomenon as my application.properties also has no additional parameters for modifying the resource source folder etc.
Okay, this was VERY weird. I found the solution, but I am not sure, whether it's IntelliJ, which was responsible for this problem or something else.
What I did was to edit my <script> element in my HTML file to the following:
<script src="/js/createGraph.js" type="text/javascript" >
</script>
and my intention was solely to try out, whether it would change anything. Somehow, IntelliJ told me, that it was not able to find the path (neither the js folder, nor the createGraph.js file within it) so what it suggested was to create the folder and the file (so I did, using ALT+Enter). What I did afterwards is to just copy the content of my old createGraph.js to the new file and to delete the (very strangely the same named) old folder and file and voila, everything works as expected... Very weird.
You can call your JS files present in resources/static folder like below:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/script.js"></script>
No need to give the forward slash before the js folder.
below I am attaching screenshot for my code:
Here, I was having images folder inside the static folder so we can directly call that folder.

I'm working on a node.js application to interact with the Twilio API. I have a problem getting my files to associate in the way I expected. My file directory structure looks like this
myapproot
-public
---form.js
-routes
---index.js
-views
---index.html
-app.js
-config.js
-server.js
In index.html, I conclude the page with the following script declaration:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../public/form.js"></script>
But when I load up the page, I get the following error:
GET: http://localhost:1337/public/form.js 404 (not found)
If I follow the path-link provided by VS code, it shows that js file, but it's not getting loaded into my view. Is there a mistake with my path declaration?
Essentially, what that command is doing is this:
<script type = 'Text/JavaScript' src = 'http://localhost:1337/public/form.js'>
So, what I'd suggest that you try is to set up the server-side code to handle requests to that directory on your server.
Hi I am working on standalone java application running on some port number.
I am trying create UI with HTML where it includes some external js files.
I have included those files in header tag as below.
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="js/jquery.json-2.2.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
But it always gives the error message as "Filed to load resource:the server responded with status code of 404.
Any ideas?
Seems like a pathing issue to me.
What is the relative location of your "js" directory from the calling page in your file system?
I am testing my website code, and I have the following folders in my working directory:
css
js
img
html (contains index.html)
When I try to bring up my website locally (the "index.html" inside of the html folder), none of the css or js files were found (404 Error).
However, before I made an html folder everything was linked together fine, and my file setup looked like this:
css
js
img
index.html
Also, when I created an "html" folder and put "index.html" inside of it, I changed the html code so that it would refer to the other files appropriately (from what I've seen on various websites):
<link href="../css/my_styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/touch_functionality.js"></script>
<img src="../img/display_photo.jpg" alt="Display Photo">
Additional Information:
I am using a local Apache server to access the "index.html" file, and I have set the DocumentRoot for the VirtualHost I made to the "/html" folder.
Additionally, I thought this may have been a permissions error, but I downloaded Cygwin and I used "chmod 711" on all of the folders in my working directory and I have used "chmod 644" on the "index.html" file inside of the html folder, but the files still wouldn't be found.
I've done my research on this for quite a few hours, but unfortunately I haven't come across a solution for this yet. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you.
Update
If I change the DocumentRoot to where all of my working space directory (instead of html) and place a .php file that simply contains the following line of code:
<?php require("html/index.html"); ?>
where my folders reside so my working directory looking like this:
-css
-js
-img
-html (contains index.html)
-index.php
Everything will work correctly. However, I would have to believe there is a way so that I don't have to do this "work-around" method. Any insight would be incredibly helpful, thanks again.
The reason being is that the web server only allows one to view files in the html directory or below.
Otherwise it will somebody to access any part of your file system.
Would you like that?
To fix this go back to the configuration that works,
I have a web service project in eclipse, and i deploy it to Tomcat by right clicking on the project and click on run on server. The following script tag is in one of the html pages:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../assests/js/lib/yui_3.6.0pr3/yui/build/yui/yui-min.js"></script>
The html page is located in folder called SamplePages which is contained in the folder TEST-WS/production, the folder assets is also in TEST-WS/production.
When i open this page in the browser, i get the following JS error:
GET http://localhost:8080/TEST-WS/production/assests/js/lib/yui_3.6.0pr3/yui/build/yui/yui-min.js 404 (Not Found)
The path TEST-WS/production/assests/js/lib/yui_3.6.0pr3/yui/build/yui/yui-min.js is correct and the .js file is there. I have other scripts like:
<script type="text/javascript" src="../assets/js/lib/all-concat.js"></script>
but it works fine. what could be the problem?
src="../assests/js
src="../assets/js
One of those paths is probably wrong.
