SpringMVC - Could not resolve view with name 'index' in servlet with name 'dispatcherServlet'

Question

I am new to SpringMVC arch and I was playing around by creating a sample application.

Here is my code

mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml

    <beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans     
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">

    <context:component-scan base-package="com.app.controller" />
    <bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">
        <property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver" />
        <property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost/app" />
        <property name="username" value="root" />
        <property name="password" value="root" />
    </bean>

    <bean id="sessionFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
        <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.app.domain" />
        <property name="hibernateProperties">
            <props>
                <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
                <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
    </bean>

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

</beans>

web.xml

    <web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee 
          http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
    version="2.5">

    <display-name>myApp</display-name>

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

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>

    <context-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

    <listener>
        <listener-class>
                   org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
                </listener-class>
    </listener>
</web-app>

**TestController.java*

package com.app.controller;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
@RequestMapping( value = "/myApp/*" )
public class TestController {
@RequestMapping( value = "/index" )
public ModelAndView index( HttpServletResponse response ) throws IOException
{
return new ModelAndView("index");
}
}

index.jsp

<html>
  <body>
    <h2>Hello World!</h2>
    <p>This is a sample Spring Project</p>
  </body>
</html>

After going through many tutorials and other resources, I found that everywhere its the same code that's written. But still I am not able to figure out as to why I am not able to load my index.jsp page on hitting the url http://localhost:8080/myApp/index.

I am getting the following exception:

And here is my project structure:

└─WEB-INF
    └─pages
         index.jsp
    │  mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml
    │  web.xml

Please help me in fixing this issue.

Your servlet mapping URL pattern will not pick up JSPs. See this answer.

To fix it, you could change

<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>

To:

<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>

I also don't see `index.jsp` in the project structure. Only `index.html` – jny Oct 29 '15 at 18:24
Sorry @dev_feed , jny that was a mistake from my side, it's actually index.jsp and it's in pages folder. I have edited my question – DivyaMenon Oct 29 '15 at 18:45
