I am only able to use it's css/js when I have an internet connection.

The dandelion/datatables folder is supposed to be placed under the classpath root of your application.

In a Maven project, you would have placed it at:

project
|__ src
   |__ main
      |__ resources
         |__ dandelion
            |__ datatables
               |__ datatables.properties

Everything placed under the src/main/resources folder of your project will be copied under the WEB-INF/classes directory and then be read by Dandelion at runtime.

You could do the same manually, but I strongly recommend to use any build tool such as Maven.
