And my web.xml:

  
  <!-- Servlets -->
  <servlet>
	<servlet-name>spring-mvc</servlet-name>
	<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
  	<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
		<servlet-name>spring-mvc</servlet-name>
		<url-pattern>/servlets/</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

My spring-mvc-servlet.xml is located in WEB-INF/servlets/spring-mvc-servlet.xml

I dont know what exactly the url-pattern is looking for. for the path of the url-pattern, what would it be? For example, in my case, what would the url-pattern print out? is it WEB-INF/servlets/?

Move your spring-mvc-servlet.xml directly into WEB-INF and restart... – Jan
Yeah that one was working but I wanna my servlet be in the servlet folder, would it be done successfully? – Leo Li

You need to move your config file.

See eror message

Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: 
     Could not open ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-mvc-servlet.xml]

But you have it in WEB-INF/servlets/spring-mvc-servlet.xml as you say

Move it to WEB-INF directory and restart - you should at least see new error messages

To your "real" question:

If you're using spring, you don't create servlets - you create controllers. The path given in each Controllers mapping will then be prepended by the URL mapping given to Spring Servlet.

So an URL like http://yourserver:8080/yourapp/servlet/doSomething

Would resolve like this:

yourapp -> Tells the Servlet Container to target your application servlet -> Tells Spring that this is meant for Spring doSomething -> will peform a lookup in all Spring Controllers if some of them match that URL pattern (inside Spring config!)

This is totally independend of where you put your class-files - and the class files for this would have to reside in WEB-INF/classes (or inside jars in WEB-INF/libs)

Good Luck
