The idea of this App is to show a JSP page when accessing the localhost:5060/project-name .Through the @RequestMapping annotation whenever I put the project name it should be redirected to the JSP file automatically which doesn't happen .**I'm using Tomcat 9 and localhost:5060 works fine. . **The problem is that i couldn't access the jsp file as I get a 404 not found error These are the config files .1st this is web.xml `
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_1.xsd"
id="WebApp_ID" version="3.1">

<!-- Spring MVC Configs -->
<!-- Step 1: Configure Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring-mvc-demo-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<!-- Step 2: Set up URL mapping for Spring MVC Dispatcher Servlet -->
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

And this is Spring xml config file(spring-mvc-demo-servlet.xml)
