import java.util.Map;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/welcome")
public class WelcomeController {

    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String displayMessage(Map<String, String> map){
            System.out.println("In");
        map.put("loginmessage","Please Login with Your Details");

@Ahmed Do you wanna say that you have kept your index.jsp file under the location - WebContent/Web-INF/jsp/index.jsp ? — asg, May 16 '16 at 14:04
So two things to look at : 1. are you getting control in the controller class if you debug your application? 2. If yes, then whether your views location is correct? Please let me know your findings. — asg, May 16 '16 at 14:08
@asg, first of all thanks for your reply ...... yes i totally missed it to check weather or not the controller gets a hit or not ..... and upon debugging i found that the controller doesn't gets hit. — Ahmed, May 17 '16 at 06:39
another thing the console sends this message as well : Warning: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/motion-comics/welcome] in DispatcherServlet with name 'motion-comics' — Ahmed, May 17 '16 at 06:41
Try adding request mapping on your method and see if that is accessible. @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET, value = "/abc"). After adding this, try accessing method with URI - [/motion-comics/welcome/abc] — asg, May 17 '16 at 06:55

@Ahmed, I have added answer. Please check if that solves your problem. — asg, May 19 '16 at 09:37

You can verify the spring web mvc logs, whether the controller is getting registered for that URL or not. Also verify whether the component scan is properly set or not.

Further you can verify the view resolver is configured appropriately or not.

For more detailed understanding check this post

You need to add it in applicationContext.xml. Please refer to spring docs at http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/3.0.x/spring-framework-reference/html/mvc.html#mvc-config – Chaitu May 16 '16 at 14:05
.. added but started receiving this error : The matching wildcard is strict, but no declaration can be found for element 'mvc:annotation-driven'. – Ahmed May 17 '16 at 06:42

I tried some examples and found out couple of configuration changes are required in your code.

Add < mvc:annotation-driven /> to your motion-comics-servlet.xml file.

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

      <!-- Add this to your xml file -->
      <mvc:annotation-driven/>

      <!-- Make sure that you are scanning all your packages required for your application -->
      <context:component-scan base-package="com.rethink.controller"></context:component-scan>       


      <bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"

              <property name="prefix">
                  <value>/WEB-INF/jsp/</value>
               </property>
              <property name="suffix">
                 <value>.jsp</value>
              </property>
        </bean>

</beans>

Change motion-comics servlet-mapping to the following configuration. Change '/*' to '/'. Remove *.

 <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>motion-comcis</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
 </servlet-mapping>

Please let me know if you run into any issues.
