I really cannot fix that.
First, I created a Spring Template Project (Spring MVC) from STS.
Then I copied exactly the code reported at http://blog.terrencemiao.com/archives/spring-3-shacks-up-jsf-2-the-maverick-way and it does not work for me.
I think there is at least one error in that code, that is “applicationConfigure.xml should be applicationContext.xml”. I corrected it, but it doesn’t work yet.
Other than the files reported in that website (same structure), I have:
(1) root-context (WEB-INF/spring)

==============================
The rest is exactly the same. Unfortunately, when I start the server and open localhost:8080/HelloSpring/helloSpring, I get the following error:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [DispatcherServlet] in context with path [/HelloSpring] threw exception [Circular view path [helloSpring]: would dispatch back to the current handler URL [/HelloSpring/helloSpring] again. Check your ViewResolver setup! (Hint: This may be the result of an unspecified view, due to default view name generation.)] with root cause

It does not work because your InternalViewResolver is looking for helloSpring.jsp file under “/WEB-INF/views/” while the file you have is helloSpring.xhtml.
You can either change the suffix to value “.xhtml” or use an .jsp view file.
