The root cause seems self explanatory :

 "java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource
 [/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml]"

The file mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml is not found under the WEB-INF folder. From your example, it seems you've named it "dispatcher-servlet.xml" instead.

I think your webapp and servlet configurations are a bit off, see :

Spring: namespace vs contextConfigLocation init parameters in web.xml

Upon initialization of a DispatcherServlet, Spring MVC looks for a file named [servlet-name]-servlet.xml in the WEB-INF directory of your web application

This is why it's looking for "mvc-dispatcher-servlet" and not what you defined in the parent context. Take a look at the example of the contextConfigLocation within the <webapp> tag and within the <servlet> one.
