I've been working on multiple Spring MVC projects in the past, with all of them having Spring Security without a problem, but I've ran into a peculiar problem this time. When implementing Spring Security, it stopped reading all resources files. I have seen the other questions on this topic on StackOverflow, and none of them answer my question, and most of them are also a few years old. Here's the relevant information:
web.xml:
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>

/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
<servlet>

<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>

</servlet-mapping>

</filter>

<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>

- I can login and logout just fine, and Spring Security works well, however, when I launch the application, none of the resource files are available. When I try to access them in any way, I am redirected to the URL of the files, however, I am then prompted to input credentials, which leads me to the conclusion that Spring Security doesn't let me access the files.
I am also greeted with the message:
Refused to apply style from 'http://localhost:8080/resources/css/bootstrap.min.css' because its MIME type ('text/html') is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.
I've tried changing the type from 'text/html' to 'text/css' but it doesn't change anything. Why is this happening? Here are the dependencies:
