i m a beginner in spring mvc and need help.

i think i have included all the jars. do you know which one is missing — mona

The JVM disagrees with you. Use find jar.com to see if it can tell what JAR that class is in. — duffymo

You'll find it a lot easier to get started with this type of project (and maintain it in the long term) if you use Maven or Gradle for dependency management & build. — JamieB

Looks like you miss the spring-web.jar in your classpath or you have a wrong version of it. Add the jar as a dependency to your project.
