Here is the Image of Directory
PS: I have tried all other option including switching the location, cleaning the directory and reinstalling tomcat and eclipse but all these are not working for me.Even, I changed the IDE from Eclipse to IntelliJ Idea but problem persists.
Since your servlet name is 'dispatcher' Spring looks for the file dispatcher-servlet.xml in the default location of your WEB-INF folder.
Try renaming spring-mvc-demo-servlet.xml to dispatcher-servlet.xml and it will work.Hope it helps, Thanks
