Spring: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [uri] in Dispatcher Servlet

Question

This is a Spring MVC project where the view is redirected through servlet-dispatcher.xml. The dispatcher is unable to map to the given URI. Attached images contain the project structure that may also help to find the mistake. Following is the code:-

Web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0">


<display-name>Test Web Application</display-name>

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
        org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
    </servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
    <listener-class>
        org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
    </listener-class>
</listener>

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
public class Test {
String msg = "Hello Nigga";

@RequestMapping("/test")
public ModelAndView testController(
        @RequestParam(value="name", required=false, defaultValue="Yooo") 
            String name){
    System.out.println("Test Controller");

    ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView("testView");
    mv.addObject("msg",msg);
    mv.addObject("name", name);
    return mv;
}

}

Console: Error

Thank You.

I think it does not work, because you realized root context only (which enabled via contextConfigLocation parameter). You should add context for spring servlet. You can see sample here in rows 20-23. Context for servlet described here

<context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/spring/root-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>

<listener>
    <listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

<servlet>
    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>/spring/appServlet-context.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
