The spring/hibernate web application that I am creating is building and deploying correctly but I am having some problems when trying to access the jsp pages inside my WEB-INF/jsp folder. The test jsp page that I have placed in my WebContent folder opens correctly.
Here is my code:
new-customer.jsp
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" prefix="form" %>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Create New Customer</h1>
<c:url var="saveUrl" value="/mis/start/newcustomer" />
<form:form modelAttribute="customerAttribute" method="POST" action="${saveUrl}">
<table>
<tr>
<td><form:label path="customerTargetId">Customer Target ID:</form:label></td>
<td><form:input path="customerTargetId"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><form:label path="customerName">Customer Name</form:label></td>
<td><form:input path="customerName"/></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><form:label path="customerCountry">Customer Country</form:label></td>
<td><form:input path="customerCountry"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</form:form>
</body>
</html>
start.jsp
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Insert title here</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<c:url var="addUrl" value="/mis/start/newcustomer" />
<p><a href="${addUrl}">Create new customer</a></p>
</body>
</html>
CustomerController
package testapp.mis.controller;
@Controller
@RequestMapping("/start")
public class CustomerController {
@Resource(name="customerService")
private CustomerService customerService;
@RequestMapping(value="/newcustomer", method=RequestMethod.GET)
public String getCustomer(Model model) {
model.addAttribute("customerAttribute", new Customer());
return "new-customer";
}
@RequestMapping(value="/newcustomer", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String postCustomer(@ModelAttribute("customerAttribute") Customer customer) {
customerService.createCustomer(customer);
return "redirect:/mis/start";
}
}

When I for example try to go to http://localhost/MIS/mis/start it tells me the page does not exist. (I have tried all combinations of localhost/MIS/start, localhost/mis/start/newcustomer etc.)
Can anyone see what the problem is?
Let me know if you need some other part of my code to help. Thank you!
Edit:
adding the other config files:

My original assumption that it was building correctly was wrong, my java files weren’t getting placed in the right folder. This caused the classes folder under WEB-INF where tomcat expected them to be to be empty. Here is the ant build file that is working correctly:
