Check the log for some exceptions and add them to the question. Also Spring MVC searches for xml configuration with name: "<the name of the dispatcher servlet>+-servlet" Try to rename applicationContext.xml to mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml and change the path and accordingly.

Hey Evgeni, This is not the problem of **mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml** . Due to **Spring Mvc** convention , spring framework look for **-servlet.xml**. In my **web.xml** ,At **** , servlet-name is "**mvc-dispatcher**" and i have **mvc-dispatcher-sevlet.xml** under "**WEB-INF**" folder – user2866134 Jan 04 '14 at 13:33
OK. Any exceptions in the log? – Evgeni Dimitrov Jan 04 '14 at 16:29

Your spring Servlet has a mapping for "/" And that the path for the index page.
