First you need to declare your resources in dispatcher-servlet file like this :

<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/folder/" />

Any request with url mapping /resources/** will directly look for /resources/folder/.

Now in jsp file you need to include your css file like this :

<link href="<c:url value="/resources/css/main.css" />" rel="stylesheet">
