title: Where to put static files such as CSS in a spring-boot project?
body: <p>In my current spring-boot project, my views have this line:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link href="signin.css" rel="stylesheet"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>to reference a static css file. When I run the project, and access one of the views which reference this file, I get a 404 not found error or a 403 unauthorized error, depending where I put the file inside the project.</p>
  
  <p>I try this so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>src/main/resources/static/css (with this, I use css/signin.css instead of signin.css)
  
  src/main/resources/templates/static/css (with this, I use css/signin.css instead of signin.css)
  
  src/src/main/resources/templates/acesso (same folder of the html file)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>what the right place to store this type of files?</p>
