i able upload image server , can locate image in path /static/images/gallery. when try load uploaded images application not displaying theme. after application restart.

the static directory loaded @ startup. when upload images or make changes files or folder under static folder not reflect applicationcontext initialized.

to upload dynamic image can follow these steps:

step 1: create directory outside static folder media created on server

step 3: implement webmvcconfigurer.

@configuration public class additionalresourcewebconfiguration implements webmvcconfigurer {    @override   public void addresourcehandlers(final resourcehandlerregistry registry) {     registry.addresourcehandler("/media/**").addresourcelocations("file:media/");   } }
