Collect CSS/JS Resources in Spring Controller - spring

Question

I would like to collect all css/js resources in a controller.
This would result in one HTTP Request for each resource.
Example:
package my.package;
// [...imports...]
#Controller
#RequestMapping( "/res" )
public class ResourcesController
{
#RequestMapping( value = "/style.css", headers = "content-type=text/css" )
// [...] collect all css files from /WEB-INF/css/**
#RequestMapping( value = "/scripts.js", headers = "content-type=text/javascript" )
// [...] collect all js files from /WEB-INF/js/**
}
I already have an DispatcherServlet which uses Apache Tiles, so I guess i need to make a new servlet?!
<servlet>
<servlet-name>resources</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>?org.springframework.web.servlet.ResourceServlet?</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>resources</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/res/*.css</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/res/*.js</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Is class org.springframework.web.servlet.ResourceServlet correct?
What I have to put in my resources-servlet.xml then? This?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ResourceBundleViewResolver" />
<context:component-scan base-package="my.package" />
</beans>
And how my mapping methods should look like in the controller?
Any example code would be very useful. Can't find anything on the internet...

No -- you should have only the DispatcherServlet. -- Every Spring Controller is handled by this servlet.
But in general it looks strange what you do.
Spring already have a "tool" that allows to access static ressources ResourceHttpRequestHandler See Spring Reference Chapter 16.14.5 Configuring Serving of Resources
for example
<mvc:resources location="/, classpath:/META-INF/web-resources/"
mapping="/resources/**" />
But maybe you try something more complex like Jawr?
