Any ideas? thanks

Answer 1

I believe the application may not be scanning the package that contains the controllers. I see a dao package being scanned but I assume you wouldn't put your controllers there. In your configuration scan the package with the controllers.

<context:component-scan base-package="by.mvc.spring" />

Answer 2

If you are using the <annotation-driven /> and you have one o more packages using @RequestMapping, @Controller you have to set the tag <context:component-scan base-package="com.mvc.example" /> to explicity indicates the places to scan the controllers and that's all.

Good luck!

Answer 3

If you are using tags like @RequestMapping, @Controller, etc, you have to use <mvc:annotation-driven /> instead of <annotation-driven />.

Here you have more information about it.
