also there place java based spring mvc configuration?

thanks

this not root cause @ravi, see few issues wanted highlight start with:

a. seem loading spring java config file twice, through contextloaderlistener , dispatcher servlet, through contextloaderlistener, can define dispatcherservlet way - load empty context(ideally have 2 java configs - 1 core application , 1 web configuration):

servletregistration.dynamic dispatcher = servletcontext.addservlet("dispatcher", new genericwebapplicationcontext()); dispatcher.setloadonstartup(1); dispatcher.addmapping("/"); 

b. can enable debug mode log4j , see else logged - if not sufficient information, log @ trace level.

c. internal view resolver path looks little wrong - missing forward "/":

resolver.setprefix("/web-inf/jsp/"); 

can please try these , see see now.
