I struggled with this problem many times   The solution I am currently using is weather the webapp or the folder where you kept the views like jsp  is under deployment assembly   To do so Right click on the project  gt  Build Path  gt  Configure Build path  gt  Deployment Assembly  gt  Add right hand side   gt  Folder  gt   add your jsp folder  In default case it is src main webapp   You could also get this error after you did everything correct but on the JSP you put the anchor tag the old fashion I am adding this incase if it help anybody else with the same issue     I had the following syntax on the jsp   lt a href   mappedpath  gt TakeMeToTheController lt  a gt  and I kept seeing the error mentioned in the question  However changing the  tag into the one shown below solved the issue    lt a href    lt spring url value   mappedpath    gt    gt TakeMeToTheController lt  a gt

I was facing the same issue and with some hint from  tadtab  s answer  I was able to figure out a solution for the same problem in my project   Steps   1- Follow the steps mentioned in  tadtab s answers   2- Right Click on the project- Click on Properties- Search for Deployment Assembly   3- Search whether your folder exists on the screen   If not  add it    4- On the screen you will find a  Deploy Path  column corresponding to your source folder  Copy that path  In my case  it was  views    5- So basically  in the setPrefix   method  we should have the path at the time of deployment  Earlier I was just using  views in the setPrefix   method  so I was getting the same error  But after  it worked well     Bean     public ViewResolver viewResolver             InternalResourceViewResolver resolver   new InternalResourceViewResolver             resolver setPrefix   WEB-INF classes             resolver setSuffix   jsp             resolver setExposeContextBeansAsAttributes true           return resolver           The same should be applicable to XML configuration also

If you are developing spring boot application add  SpringBootServletInitializer  as shown in following code to your main file  Because without SpringBootServletInitializer Tomcat will consider it as normal application it will not consider as Spring boot application   SpringBootApplication public class DemoApplication extends  SpringBootServletInitializer         Override     protected SpringApplicationBuilder configure SpringApplicationBuilder application             return application sources DemoApplication  class              public static void main String   args             SpringApplication run DemoApplication  class  args
