<welcome-file-list>
<welcome-file>

<param-value>
<!-- Spring application context declaration -->
classpath:/config/spring-config.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>

</bean>
<mvc:resources mapping="/static/**" location="/static/" />
<mvc:annotation-driven/>
</beans>
I have placed my static resources in webapp/static...Please explain what might be causing the issue

Answer 1

Your classpath:/config/spring-config.xml needs to go in the DispatcherServlet's contextConfigLocation:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>GameApp</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:/config/spring-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
and you can leave empty the root application context contextConfigLocation:
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value></param-value>
</context-param>
