Hi,
I was trying to do my first program in Spring MVC. I referred the below tutorial for helloworld example
http://blog.springsource.org/2011/01/04/green-beans-getting-started-with-spring-mvc/
I got the below exception on startup of server:
WARNING: [SetContextPropertiesRule]{Context} Setting property 'source' to 'org.eclipse.jst.jee.server:Beginer' did not find a matching property.
May 05, 2013 5:53:12 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: Marking
servlet appServlet as unavailable
May 05, 2013 5:53:12 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext loadOnStartup
SEVERE: Servlet /Beginer threw load() exception
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
Since i am learning, i took 1 jar at a time to understand the imports better. I am Using STS
IDE. I added 3 jars to start with. ( I know i might require other jars, but trying to tackle exception and resolve one by one). Below are the jars that i added in build path of the project:
1. spring-context-3.2.2
2. spring-web-3.2.2
3. spring-webmvc-3.2.2
Spring-webmvc has DispatcherServlet. I double checked classpath and it also had all the 3 jars added. I am confused why this error should be thrown. Can somebody please clarify. My goal is to resolve this exception, though i might get another one after this.
Regards.
