404 error in eclipse after running Spring App...(message: Servlet dispatcher is not a

[mikecalbor]

Hi all,

I have this example ( http://www.vaannila.com/spring/sprin...gration-1.html ) in my eclipse IDE and have Tomcat 7 running on it.
I have followed the exact tutorial still i am getting the irritating 404 file not found error.

The message is : message Servlet dispatcher is not available

and


description The requested resource (Servlet dispatcher is not available) is not available.

.
I dont know why its not finding the dispatcher-servlet.xml......

Thank you

Mike

Do you guys know what is this? I tried googling but did not help.

Thank you

You havn't spring in your classpath.

in the link you gave, you have a lib a library (after "You need to have the following lib files in the WEB-INF/lib directory.") Check all library are included.

[mikecalbor]

Thanks for your reply.. what do you mean by spring not in my classpath...

I have included the spring jars in project>add jars...do you mean this?

Please clarify for the newbie

Thank you

Mike

that error is gone after i imported couple of jar files in the WEB-INF/lib folder...

SEVERE: Servlet /Vanila threw load() exception
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.context.ApplicationListener
at ...

You added some library in your WEB-INF/lib folder...
BUT you always have a class not found exeption on a Spring class. That means Spring is not in the WEB-INF/lib

You added the lib in the eclipse project, but how did you launch your project? With eclipse and "Run on server" or manually...

[mikecalbor]

With eclipse and "Run on server"........I running like this

[DaveyS]

You can ignore the error report about apr. That is just saying that some native libraries that make Tomcat faster are not installed.

Which Spring libraries have you added to your application?

[mikecalbor]

spring,spring-beans,spring-context,spring-core,spring-web,spring-webflow,spring-webmvc,standard

And some of hibernate jars and other springframework jars..

all are in the Libraries folder.

In the WEB-INF/lib folder i have

spring-web,spring-webflow,spring-mvc



Thank you

mike

[DaveyS]

You need to have all the jars in WEB-INF/lib so that they are picked up at runtime.
