Getting 404 not found error when running spring jpa project on tomcat7 - spring

Question

I am trying to deploy a spring jpa project on tomcat7 on ubuntu13.04. I started tomcat using sh startup.sh
and I got the message "Tomcat Started".
Before this I copied my ROOT.war to /usr/share/tomcat7/webapps and have given full permission to this folder also. And I can see it is correctly structured.
And below is my web.xml
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" version="2.5">
<display-name>Test App</display-name>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/spring-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener class>
</listener>
</web-app>
And below code is part of my controller:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/issue")
public class IssueController {
#RequestMapping(value="/{userId}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
function to handle above request
}
Below is my mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml
<context:component-scan base-package="com.test.hello" />
<mvc:annotation-driven content-negotiation-manager="contentNegotiationManager" />
<bean id="contentNegotiationManager" class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="favorPathExtension" value="true" />
<property name="favorParameter" value="true" />
<property name="mediaTypes" >
<value>
json=application/json
xml=application/xml
</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix">
<value>/WEB-INF/pages/</value>
</property>
<property name="suffix">
<value>.jsp</value>
</property>
</bean>
But now when I am running http://localhost:8080/issue/1, I am getting 404 page not found.

Try to change your web.xml in this way:
<web-app>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener class>
</listener>
</web-app>
