I have a problem with spring application. I'm trying to create very simple app.

So... All looks good... But there is a problem. I am starting this app and logs:

jun 23, 2013 12:37:49 AM org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet noHandlerFound
So. Tomcat found controller, executed it, found view (page) and... Can't find mapping to it (page). Where is my mistake? Thanks for your answer
Change this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
to this:
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>

Please help. Seems to be perfect but I don't know whats wrong. Thanks in advance!
In your web.xml file configuration, you have not mention spring context configuration file location. So spring will not be able to find RiteshMVCDemo-servlet.xml file. Also you have not registered for ContextLoaderListener. Please use below code snippet:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app ...>
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/root-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- Creates the Spring Container shared by all Servlets and Filters -->
<listener>

</listener>

<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>RiteshMVCDemo</servlet-name>

</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
root-context.xml and RiteshMVCDemo-servlet.xml should be in the location as mentioned in the configuration

Your configuration looks ok. However you are requesting for the /CloudService/ url which is not mapped to any controller handler method. Your Controller has a handler for /CloudService/hello instead. You can either include a handler for / or if both / and /hello should be handled by the same method you can do it this way
#Controller
#RequestMapping({"/hello" , "/"})
public class HelloController{
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String printHello(ModelMap model) {
model.addAttribute("message", "Hello Spring MVC Framework!");
return "hello";
}
}
N.B Your application has one application context HelloWeb-servlet.xml therefor you don`t need a ContextLoaderListener configuration to create a parent context.However as soon as you have service beans which must be separated into a different context you need to configure it
This is one sample web.xml

I am sure this should work for you as well.
I'm trying to build a spring mvc web on google app engine. But I can't make the routing/mapping work.
I have my HelloController, which indicates that I want to map to /hello
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/hello")
public class HelloController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String Index() {
return "hello";
}
}
and a very simple hello.jsp file
<html>
<head><title>Hello :: Spring Application</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Hello - Spring Application</h1>
<p>Greetings.</p>
</body>
</html>
however, when I try to access /hello, I will get 404 not found.
here is my xml mapping file mvc-servlet.xml
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

What am I missing ? How to fix it ?
Do you have a web.xml ?
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/root-context.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- Creates the Spring Container shared by all Servlets and Filters -->
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<!-- Processes application requests -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
ContextLoaderListener ties the ApplicationContext lifecycle to
ServletContext lifecycle and automate the creation of
ApplicationContext. ApplicationContext is the place for Spring beans
and we can provide it’s configuration through contextConfigLocation
context parameter. root-context.xml file provides the configuration
details for WebApplicationContext.

Add a * to the servlet's URL pattern in your web.xml:

use #RequestMapping("/welcome") on your method instead of class

Change the <a href> to get the actual url like this
<a href="<c:url value="/emp"/>" />
Also make sure that the Dispatcher servlet is mapped in your web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>DispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>

More about Spring MVC implementation can be found here
I've solved it by adding
<prop key="emp.htm">empController</prop>
and
<bean name="empController"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.ParameterizableViewController"
p:viewName="emp" />

Yes, I can see that emp.jsp is a simple message jsp. The thing is this is how MVC pattern works(no thing to do with Spring). MVC is all about having a dispatcher sitting in front of all request and route the request to proper resources(e.g. controller,servlet, etc)
If the message in the jsp is dynamic generated, I reckon the request should go through a controller and forwarded to emp.jsp. If the whole point of emp.jsp is just some kinda of static page, you can put emp.js under webapp/static/emp.jsp and in your spring servlet configuration file indicate that everything under /static should by pass Spring ServletDispatcher.
The configuration file will look like this
<mvc:resources mapping="/static/**" location="/static/" />
By doing so, the request /static/emp.jsp will work and do not go through Spring DispatcherServlet.
