I am trying to build and deploy the Spring MVC web application from My MacBook Air. Created the maven project and added all the necessary files for the project. Able to build the project and deploy to Tomcat 8 via maven pom.xml. When I access the page it just shows me the jsp code as it is instead of content.
I could not able to see the generated servlet file out tomcat work folder. Since am deploying the files via maven I don't think it can hide in my eclipse workspace.
I went through similar questions but none of them worked out the form. For example, there were some suggestions to add / in front of WEB -INF in servlet.xml and add the tags in JSP and also put the content inside of the body tag. I hope this is something to do with my Tomcat8 and Maven3.3.9
When I access the application with URL, I can see the logs inside of my controller so it means that my code is deployed into Tomcat but only JSP to servlet conversion is not happening.
Here are my configuration files.
