I got this error when I ran my very first spring example code. It looks like spring does not

reconize a bean somehow but I dont know why. I made a bean definition file and added one bean there.

Then I located that file under WEBINF folder. Supposely this should work without any issue but looks

like I got some issues here. below is my bean definition file and jsp. can anybody tell me

what am I doing wrong?

applicationContext.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<bean id="HelloSpring" class="com.spring.toby.HelloSpring"></bean>

</beans>

HelloSpring.java 

package com.spring.toby;

public class HelloSpring {
public String sayHello(String name){
    return "Hello " + name;
}
}

HelloSpring.jsp

    You need to add applicationContext.xml in contextConfigLocation

    <context-param>
    <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
    <param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/root-context.xml,
                 /WEB-INF/spring/applicationContext.xml
     </param-value>
</context-param>

    Alternatively you could also import bean defination from another file using <import:resource> tag in xml file

    Suggestion

    It is good practice to put logic on controllers (Servlet, Controller Classes..) not on JSP
