I have created a simple spring MVC application without using any build tools like maven or ant in eclipse EE IDE
The application consist of only one controller class, 2 XML's (web.xml and spring-servlet.xml) and a jsp page(hellopage.jsp)
I am using tomcat and 6.0 eclipse galileo.
In my spring-servlet.xml file I have mentioned <servlet-name> as "Spring" and <servlet-class> as org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet, <url-pattern> as *.html, whereas in my web.xml file welcome file is index.jsp which has a link(<a href="hello.html">click</a>) to hello.html.
My controller class has request mapping as ("/hello"), when in the browser after deploying the war file of my application I hit the URL localhost:8080/projectname the index.jsp page pops up with a link "click", but after clicking on this link I get a 404 error mentioning "servlet spring is not available" means the dispatcher servlet which I mentioned in spring-servlet.xml file, please can anyone help?
Here is the code:
web.xml:
