    You say:

    <bean name="Redirect.jsp" class="SpringApp.web.java.HelloController"/>

    This means Spring is expecting to find your controller in the package SpringApp.web.java. You’ve put it in the package java.

    Change the package statement in your controller to be SpringApp.web.java, and move the source file to the appropriate directory SpringApp/web/java.

    Note also that the package java is reserved for the Java platform, so you shouldn’t be using it anyway.
