Deployed Simple HelloWorld with Spring MVC app (wi

I am newbie to Spring MVC with annotations, I have worked with Spring MVC XML Configuration earlier. I get 404 error when I try to hit the url http://localhost:8080/HelloWorldApp. I have written three classes: 1. AppIntializer 2. AppConfig 3. AppController Following piece of code:

 package com.demo;
        public class AppIntializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {
            private static final String CONFIG_LOCATION = "com.demo.config";

            @Override
             public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {

            System.out.println("Initializing Application for " + servletContext.getServerInfo());

            // Create ApplicationContext
            AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext applicationContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
            applicationContext.setConfigLocation(CONFIG_LOCATION);

            // Add the servlet mapping manually and make it initialize automatically
            DispatcherServlet dispatcherServlet = new DispatcherServlet(applicationContext);
            ServletRegistration.Dynamic servlet = servletContext.addServlet("mvc-dispatcher", dispatcherServlet);

            servlet.addMapping("/");
            servlet.setAsyncSupported(true);
            servlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
        }
    }

    package com.demo.config;
        @Configuration
        @EnableWebMvc
        @ComponentScan("com.demo")
        public class AppConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {

        }

    package com.demo.web.controller;
    @Controller
    public class AppController {
        @ResponseBody
        @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public String helloWorld() {
            return "Hello World: Spring MVC without XML configuration";
        }
    }

I have tried to run it:

mvn clean install
mvn tomcat7:run

Console output:

I am not getting error on console, when I hit http://localhost:8080/HelloWorldApp/ or http://localhost:8080/ I should get output as "Hello World: Spring MVC without XML configuration" instead I get 404 error

Missing @Controller annotation in the Controller class.
Your controller class should be like

package com.demo.web.controller;
@Controller
public class AppController {
    @ResponseBody
    @RequestMapping(value = "/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
    public String helloWorld() {
        return "Hello World: Spring MVC without XML configuration";
    }
}

Edit
Here are two updates to this answer
Solution 1
Add this code to your AppInitializer class

applicationContext.setServletContext(servletContext);

If solution didn't worked then change your code like this :
Solution 2 I did it slightly different way and it worked.
Here are the changes:

move your AppInitializer class to this package(config folder) & change it to com.demo.config

Use .register method, instead of .setConfigLocation as shown below

package com.demo.config;
    public class AppIntializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {

        @Override
         public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {

        System.out.println("Initializing Application for " + servletContext.getServerInfo());

        // Create ApplicationContext
        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext applicationContext = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();

        applicationContext.register(AppConfig.class);
        applicationContext.setServletContext(servletContext);

        // Add the servlet mapping manually and make it initialize automatically
        DispatcherServlet dispatcherServlet = new DispatcherServlet(applicationContext);
        ServletRegistration.Dynamic servlet = servletContext.addServlet("mvc-dispatcher", dispatcherServlet);

        servlet.addMapping("/");
        servlet.setAsyncSupported(true);
        servlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
    }
}
