Spring Boot + Spring Security + Serve static resources from different locations

 

In Spring we can configure static resources such as  images, js, and, css files from specific locations under web application root, the classpath, and other locations. Even we can configure multiple locations to server different type of file.
An implementation of WebMvcConfigurer interface in WebMvcConfigurerAdapter abstract class with empty methods allowing sub-classes to override only the methods they're interested in. To achieve and serve static resources from different locations we need to extend WebMvcConfigurerAdapter class and need to @Override addResourceHandlers() method in our Application class.
Lets simple example to serve static resources like images and text files from different locations.
Here in this example we are loading images and text files from different locations like

  • images from C://images 
  • text files from C://txtfiles
