Spring security lessons

• css and image files were not getting loaded because i had overridden the configure method of

 WebSecurityConfigurerAdapter class as follows:

•  @Override
      public void configure(final WebSecurity web) throws Exception {
        
         web.ignoring().antMatchers("/");
                     
      }
• The above was not loading the css and images. the reason is yet to be known.
• So when i entered the authentication password css and image files are getting loaded as desired.
• @Override
      protected void configure(final HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
      http
          .csrf().disable()
          .authorizeRequests()
              .antMatchers("/","/css/**","/images/**").permitAll();
• }   
• the above solved the problem to bypass the security for home page,css and image.
• we also need to override the following method of webconfigurerAdapter class to serve the static resources ie we need to add the resource locations through the following commands:
• @Override
      public void addResourceHandlers(final ResourceHandlerRegistry registry) {
        //registry.addResourceHandler("/resources/**").addResourceLocations("/", "/resources/");
         
    registry.addResourceHandler("/css/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/static/css/");
    registry.addResourceHandler("/images/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/static/images/");
    registry.addResourceHandler("/js/**").addResourceLocations("classpath:/static/js/");
   
         
       }
