When trying to run only simple index.jsp, it runs successfully. But when try to run by servlet, it gives me error that server is not Starting

my Controller class code:

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;

@Controller
public class RestController {

    @RequestMapping(value = "/test/{filename}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String getLoadFilename(@PathVariable("filename") String filename) {

        // this looks for an existing file in the WEB-INF folder
        return "../../" + filename;
    }

}

my directory structure and web.xml

Answer 1

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.core.io.Resource indiciates, that you are missing a jar file. Try adding the spring framework core jar file to your dependencies.

In case you are using maven...

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.7.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

I would recommend to use maven and add the dependency in there. Simply right click on your project and select option to create maven nature for the application. So, that in future, you wont have dependency issues. Then, once you are done with that, add the dependency below in your POM.xml :

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
    <version>{your-spring-frameworkversion}</version>
</dependency>

If there is any doubt, lemme know.
