I want to serve static html pages in / and /index.html

final HttpServer server = GrizzlyHttpServerFactory.createHttpServer(URI.create(BASE_URI), rc);

BASE_URL = http://locahost:8080/api/

StaticHttpHandler staticHttpHandler = new StaticHttpHandler("/static");
server.getServerConfiguration().addHttpHandler(staticHttpHandler, "/");

My question is where should i put the static file in

Answer 1

In your case, static data should be located in /static folder in root of your disk.

There are a couple of options where the static resources can be located:

• you can serve static resources from your filesystem via absolute path (e.g. /www/static/):

  StaticHttpHandler staticHttpHandler = new StaticHttpHandler("/www/static/");
  server.getServerConfiguration().addHttpHandler(staticHttpHandler, "/");
  

• or embedded your resources into jar archive (e.g. /www/static.jar):

  StaticHttpHandler staticHttpHandler = new CLStaticHttpHandler(new URLClassLoader(new URL[] {new URL("file:///www/static.jar")}));
  server.getServerConfiguration().addHttpHandler(staticHttpHandler, "/");
  

• or embed static resources inside your application jar:

  StaticHttpHandler staticHttpHandler = new CLStaticHttpHandler(YourApp.class.getClassLoader());
  server.getServerConfiguration().addHttpHandler(staticHttpHandler, "/");
