I tried several solutions given online like 1) Giving read, write permissions to all files - Doesn't work 2) Adding init-param - doesn't work 3) Explicitly giving path of dispatcherservlet as /WebContent/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml - doesn't work.
I get this error when I run the project on Apache tomcat server v7.0
I am struck with this problem for past 4 days. Please help me.
Following is the solution that worked.
Your war doesn't have the dispatcher-servlet.xml. 1) The project doesn't have webapp folder. When you create a project using maven be mindful. You can follow the steps mentioned here http://blog.manishchhabra.com/2013/04/spring-data-mongodb-example-with-spring-mvc-3-2/ You would have created the project using some strange archetype of maven. Try the above link and it works.
I don't find this solution else where in internet. :)
