this is related to versions incompatibility and may be if you compiled yourself a binary, http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1980452/what-causes-java-lang-incompatibleclasschangeerror — Laabidi Raissi, May 28 '14 at 10:13

You url pattern doesnt serve your home request; remove star from it like below :

 <filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>characterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
 </filter-mapping>

With this url pattern works with every url. Do it for other url patterns as well.

You should post the dispatch servlet xml configuration file (spring-context-web.xml). There you should configure the view resolver like this:

<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
        <property name="order" value="2" /> 
</bean>
