Answer 1

I am using Spring STS IDE for developing spring mvc application. It's provide home.jsp page which is the default page in spring mvc and you can change easily inside web.xml file of the Spring MVC project Another option you can put your index.jsp page inside webapp folder it's bydefault run first.

You have the whole documentation here !!!

Usually in an MVC Application, The '/' or 'homepage' is usually not directly called. All requests in an MVC Application should be sent to a dispatcher - servlet who handles all incoming Front End requests and forwards them to respective controllers. You can find a basic Spring MVC Code to create an app Here ..
