Datasource bean definition in applicationContext.xml

[harry sane]

I am building a Spring MVC Web application. I have created applicationContext.xml file. I am trying to connect to mysql database. But when I define datasource bean in applicationContext.xml the tomcat server starts and it says `404- resource not found`.

If I remove all the beans from the applicationContext.xml the project runs properly.

What am I doing wrong? It is said that datasources should be defined in the applicationContext.xml but is there other way to define datasource?

Here is my applicationContext.xml file.

    
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <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:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.2.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-4.2.xsd">

	    <context:component-scan base-package="com.cinema.repository" />


	    <bean id="jdbcTemplate" class="org.springframework.jdbc.core.JdbcTemplate">
		<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
	    </bean>
	    <bean id="userDao" class="com.cinema.repository.UserDaoImpl">
	 	    <property name="jdbcTemplate" ref="jdbcTemplate" />
	    </bean>
	    <bean id="dataSource"
		class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
		    <property name="driverClassName" value="${jdbc.driverClassName}" />
		    <property name="url" value="${jdbc.url}" />
		    <property name="username" value="${jdbc.username}" />
		    <property name="password" value="${jdbc.password}" />
	    </bean>

	    <context:property-placeholder location="jdbc.properties" />
    </beans>

And this is my web.xml file

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
	xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
	xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd">

	    <display-name>Cinema Booking</display-name>
	    <listener>
		    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
	    </listener>

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

	    <servlet>
		    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
		    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
		    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
	        </servlet>

	    <servlet-mapping>
		    <servlet-name>spring</servlet-name>
		    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
	    </servlet-mapping>

    </web-app>

Can you please point out what am I doing wrong here?
