Static resources not accessible in Jersey rest - regex

Question

I am having problem accessing my static resources in /project/resources/(css|js)/. I was able to access index.css in my css folder, but no other. I tried to find the root cause, changed regex expressions and messed up everything. Now I am not able to access even index.css now. Please find details below -
File structure -
webapp
|____ resources
| |____ css
| |____ js
|
|____ WEB-INF
|____ jsp
web.xml -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- This web.xml file is not required when using Servlet 3.0 container,
see implementation details http://jersey.java.net/nonav/documentation/latest/jax-rs.html -->
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>REST Web Application</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
</web-app>
I tried to find solutions on net but nothing was useful. Hoping for the useful solution.
Thanks in advance.

The jersey.config.servlet.filter.staticContentRegex property should work if you are using Jersey 2.x.
I believe your static resources are only on resources folder.
Try this:
<init-param>
<param-name>jersey.config.servlet.filter.staticContentRegex</param-name>
<param-value>/resources/(css|js)/.*</param-value>
</init-param>
