Full log here

I tried to add this

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

and then this

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

to web.xml, but didn't help

EDIT

I renamed servlet to DispatcherServlet and dispatcher-servlet.xml to DispatcherServlet-servlet.xml, but error stil says Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml]

EDIT 2

I created new clean Spring MVC project and the problem remains. I think that the problem could be in Weblogic, I'll try to reinstall it

You are using maven, judging from the `pom.xml` however your structure isn't according to the structure maven expects. Fix your project structure or modify everything in your `pom.xml` to match your structure. (Generally the first thing is the easiest to do). — M. Deinum, Jul 11 '18 at 05:37
@M.Deinum, I changed project structure to this, problem stil the same https://i.gyazo.com/7becbe007b4ea194572fc42b8a467342.png — SummertimeSadness, Jul 11 '18 at 08:02
Which is still the wrong structure... `WEB-INF` must be in `webapp` not in `webapp/web`. — M. Deinum, Jul 11 '18 at 09:05

Try adding the following param's :

i.e.:

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>DispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
        <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>
            /WEB-INF/DispatcherServlet-servlet.xml
        </param-value>
    </init-param>
</servlet>

if the Servlet is called DispatcherServlet then then xml must be called DispatcherServlet-servlet.xml based on Spring definition

As i mentioned in my question, I already tried to add this to web.xml, and this didn't help – SummertimeSadness Jul 10 '18 at 21:58
assuming you added in the correct position inside . Is your war well-formed ? – devwebcl Jul 10 '18 at 22:12
ok. probably this is a duplicated question, the name of the xml must have suffix -servlet https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14954931/my-application-could-not-open-servletcontext-resource you need to rename the xml as well – devwebcl Jul 10 '18 at 22:20
I added into tag, I changed in to DispatcherServlet, I changed in to DispatcherServlet, I changed dispatcher-servlet.xml to DispatcherServlet-servlet.xml and error stil says "Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml]" – SummertimeSadness Jul 11 '18 at 07:12

As i said: " I changed dispatcher-servlet.xml to DispatcherServlet-servlet.xml". Btw, I solved my problem with reinstalletion of Weblogic – SummertimeSadness Jul 11 '18 at 14:45
