I am new to Spring MVC and I have now this problem:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Servlet.init() for servlet [dispatcher] threw exception

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: IOException parsing XML document from ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml]

I have found several questions with the same title, but none of them solved my problem.

My Working directory is something like this:

enter image description here

And these are file in this project:

this is web.xml file:

<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC
 "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN"
 "http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd" >

<web-app>
  <display-name>Archetype Created Web Application</display-name>


  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>
      org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
    </servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

this is dispatcher-servlet.xml file:

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

</beans>

You should have src/main/java, src/main/resources, and src/main/webapp.

resources and webapp must not be under src/main/java. src/main/java is for Java source files.
