Spring MVC resource Configuration issue - jquery-ui

Question

I have been using spring MVC for while and so far so good. I decided to add jquery UI to my project because I wanted to use jqgrid for my grids. below is the folder structure for the webapp:
-assets
+javascript
+images
-css
+jqgrid
+bootstrap
-jquery
-ui-smoothness
+images
jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min.css /** this file is referecing images in the image folder above with the css url() method **/
jquery_{versions}.js
-WEB-INF
+views
spring_application_Contexts.xml
web.xml
In my spring_application_context for mvc i have :
<mvc:resources mapping="/images/**" location="/assets/images/" />
<mvc:resources mapping="/styles/**" location="/assets/css/" />
<mvc:resources mapping="/script/**" location="/assets/js/" />
I can access my files in jsp using this :
<title><spring:message code="dataview.page.title" /> </title>
<meta name="viewport" content="initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" />
<link href="<spring:url value="/styles/bootstrap/bootstrap.css"/>/" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="<spring:url value="/styles/bootstrap/bootstrap-responsive.css"/>/" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="<spring:url value="/styles/jquery/ui-smoothness/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min.css"/>/" rel="stylesheet">
<link href="<spring:url value="/styles/jqgrid/ui.jqgrid.css"/>/" rel="stylesheet">
<script type="text/javascript" src="<spring:url value="/script/jquery/jquery-1.9.1.min.js"/>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<spring:url value="/script/jqgrid/jquery.jqGrid.min.js"/>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<spring:url value="/script/jqgrid/grid.locale-en.js"/>"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<spring:url value="/script/bootstrap/bootstrap.js"/>"></script>
but it complains about files not found like below:
Images url in firebug are of types:
http://localhost:8080/edowmis/styles/jquery/ui-smoothness/jquery-ui-1.10.3.custom.min.css/images/ui-bg_flat_75_ffffff_40x100.png
the images url contains the jquery ui css path.
where is the catch? Kindly help me address this it's something iv'e tried to figure out but in vain
Thanks
