Creating a route with Spring in Netbeans - spring

Question

I know this is a pretty basic issue, but I struggle hard with it...
I'd like to create a bunch of routes with the Spring framework in the Netbeans IDE, I have created a test #Controller class:
#Controller
public class HelloController {
#RequestMapping("/test")
public ModelAndView thisIsATest(HttpServletRequest request) {
return (new ModelAndView("myTestPage.jsp"));
}
}
myTestPage.jsp is a JSP file in the WEB-INF/jsp/ folder, and the HelloController class is in the Source Packages/ folder within a controller java package.
When I start the server, I can acces the root '/index.htm' that displays the index.jsp page (from the redirect.jsp file), but when I try to access '/test' or '/test.htm' I get a 404 error...
I really don't know how to make a Spring controller to work, and I did many tutorials without success.

In your applications web.xml make sure you have something like this. This will allow access to all your jsp pages. Add any other filters you may need here too.
