Tried that. While Updating in the console found FileNotFoundException for common logging. Had been added the common-logging also in the POM.xml. Still there is no change. – vinoth kumar Mar 23 '17 at 09:05

Can u check if the below dependency is included in your pom.xml/build.xml file.

<dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
        <version><!-- Your spring version here --></version>
    </dependency>

Check the link, might be useful..

Spring Jars are not being resolved at runtime by your server. Please check your WEB-INF/lib to see if the jars are available.

You can clearly see it in their maven dependencies in the picture. – Sotirios Delimanolis Mar 22 '17 at 17:44
