Spring MVC. HTTP Status 404

java, jsp, model-view-controller, spring, spring-mvc

Solution

The error message says that it's looking for `Hello.jsp`. And indeed, your controller returns the following view name: `"Hello"`. But your screenshot shows that your file is naled `hello.jsp`. The case matters.

Problem

I began to learn "Spring MVC" from this course: http://www.pluralsight.com/training/Courses/TableOfContents/springmvc-intro At step "Building->Run the Application" I'm stuck. When I try to go to link `http://localhost:8080/FitnessTracker/greeting.html` I get "HTTP Status 404" ``` HTTP Status 404 - /FitnessTracker/WEB-INF/jsp/Hello.jsp type Status report message /FitnessTracker/WEB-INF/jsp/Hello.jsp description The requested resource is not available.
