Referencing static resources outside of the default project structure

[clocke3]

I am working on a project where we are using a strangler fig pattern to refactor our frontend from a not so good and barely used platform to Thymeleaf. I understand the default project structure, but definitively how do I reference static resource files in the HTML when I have to lightly go against that structure?

Below is a simplified example of the project structure:

src |----- main |----- java |----- resources |----- thymeleaf (need to do this; there are many other directories under "resources") |----- static | |----- css | |----- js |----- templates

you use spring boot?

Yes this is with spring boot

[tongtongzheng1973]

it a question for spring boot.. not thymeleaf...

spring boot search template by default in
src/main/resources/templates/

you can modify default value via properties...
key is:
spring.thymeleaf.prefix

for you case

src/main/resources/thymeleaf/templates/

spring.thymeleaf.prefix=classpath:/thymeleaf/templates/

should work
