Spring MVC Resource is out of sync with the file system: '/HelloWorld/WebContent/.DS_Store'

Question

I'm starting a helloWorld project on Spring MVC

I'm using this release: Springsource (spring-3.2.0.M1-dist.zip (sha1) 44.5 MB)

here is my web.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <web-app version="3.2" 
        xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee" 
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
        http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/web-app_3_2.xsd">

        <display-name>HelloWorld</display-name>

        <servlet>
            <servlet-name>helloworld</servlet-name>
            <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
            <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
        </servlet>

        <servlet-mapping>
            <servlet-name>helloworld</servlet-name>
            <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
        </servlet-mapping> 

        <welcome-file-list>
            <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
        </welcome-file-list>
    </web-app> 

and here my servlet file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.2.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.2.xsd">

    <context:component-scan base-package="helloWorld"/>

    <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix">
            <value>/WEB-INF/views/</value>
        </property>
        <property name="suffix">
            <value>.jsp</value>
        </property>
    </bean>
</beans>

When I try to run using tomcat I've this error:

Answer 1

Check whether you have got any container specific jars in the application's lib folder such as servlet-api.jar if so remove those.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: HttpServletRequest
