org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet noHandlerFound, No mapping found for HTTP request with URI

Question

When I try to open / page, I receive that error:

org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet noHandlerFound

WARNING: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/maven-archetype-webapp/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'mvc-dispatcher'

What's wrong?
