I'm setting up a spring mvc project from the scratch following some tutorial. initially I configured web app to run in the tomcat. I wrote a simple controller class with request hitting to the "/". but always tomcat showing me "HTTP Status 404 – Not Found" error.
I looked many SO questions and those answers didn't work for me
- remove the tomcat installation and reconfigure it. when hitting localhost:8080/ , I'm getting tomcat home page.
- checked the spelling of the code

AccountController.java file
package com.ps.springmvc.psbankapp.controllers;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
@Controller
public class AccountController {
@RequestMapping("/")
public String showHomePage() {
return "index";
}
}
expected result should be: In the browser window "spring home page controller" , which is a tag in the index.jsp file but the output is "HTTP Status 404 – Not Found" and description saying "The origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists."
following is my folder structure.
Any help would be appreciated.
