web.xml :- when I providing value for context-param

<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5"> <display-name>Core Web Application</display-name> <servlet> <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name> <servlet-class> org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet </servlet-class> <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> <welcome-file-list> <welcome-file>/WEB-INF/pages/index.jsp</welcome-file> </welcome-file-list> <context-param> <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name> <param-value> /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml </param-value> </context-param> <listener> <listener-class> org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener </listener-class> </listener> </web-app>

Check the log for some exceptions and add them to the question. Also Spring MVC searches for xml configuration with name: "<the name of the dispatcher servlet>+-servlet" Try to rename applicationContext.xml to mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml and change the path and accordingly.

Hey Evgeni, This is not the problem of mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml . Due to Spring Mvc convention , spring framework look for <servlet-name>-servlet.xml. In my web.xml ,At <servlet-mapping> , servlet-name is "mvc-dispatcher" and i have mvc-dispatcher-sevlet.xml under "WEB-INF" folder
OK. Any exceptions in the log?

Your spring Servlet has a mapping for "/" And that the path for the index page.
