Don't keep your CSS or JavaScript files inside the WEB-INF directory. According to this StackOverflow thread, "WEB-INF resources are accessible to the resource loader of your Web-Application and not directly visible to the public".
Instead of that create your project files structure like below,
Later your can use/refer your CSS files like below.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html >
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Tennis</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">
</head>
<body>
...
</body>
</html>

java - How to use html and/or css styles in NetBeans servlet/jsp project? - Stack Overflow
I am afraid, that server doesnot get, that there is some html and jsp file loaded from some reason, because mentioned redirection to jsp works and to html doesn't, although they are in same location and they have same name (without sufix). 2013-07-20T10:20:53.52Z+00:00 ... I had similar issues when I started trying to figure this stuff out with netbeans haha - I hope the edits help! if the most recent do not, I'm afraid I may have wasted your time and sincerely apologize! I went into netbeans and made a new web-project and added a simple css file to change the background color.

referring the css files for webpages inside Netbeans IDE | BlogsOfRaghs
July 25, 2007 - Is this a bug in Netbeans? Yet to find out that 🙂 · But somehow found this to get the css effects on pages with an overhead towards portability! If at all, i need to take the .war file and place it normal Tomcat itself, i may need to change the reference to the .css files referred everywhere right. Just to avoid that , i have made one common .jsp file where i have put this .css reference in <link> element and included this .jsp file in all the other .jsp files through include directive!

best to shoot it for the help of PHP but in the opposite way:
pgup.php
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="de">
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/main.css" />
</head>
<body>
index.php
<?php include('pgup.php'); ?>
<div id="content" class="content">
Hello
</div>
<?php include('pgdown.php'); ?>
pgdown.php
</body>
</html>
main.css
/*(for id)*/
#content{
}
/*(or for class)*/
.content{
}

Class content not found :
**This means, the class named "content" is not defined or not found in HTML/CSS file(s).**
So, either create a new CSS file and make a reference from the html page or use tag to define the CSS definition in the body.html itself.

Browsers do not have direct access to resources under WEB-INF; if you really need it there (which would be weird) you'll need to stream it back yourself.
Otherwise, move it out of there, include it as a regular CSS resource, but generate the file's path using or the Spring equivalent.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/source/css/reset.css">

You cannot place a css file outside the pages folder simply because everything exept that folder is not accessible by the Client. Dont forget that a css file is included like this:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/notification.css" />
You dont want someone to change it to <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../src/MyPreciousJavaFile.java" /> and simply get the coding of any other file.

src/main/resources- is the directory of properties file or xml file that used by Java classes. For css you should place your file in webapp directory like src/main/webapp/resources. Client can't get any access outside of webapp directory.
