Answer 1

Looks like schema is missing.

Update XML header like below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd

Answer 2

InternalResourceViewResolver & messageSource are wrongly defined in your xml. There is no such tag as mvc:bean. That's why a problem. Should be as follows.

<bean
    class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp" />
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>
<bean id="messageSource"
    class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
</bean>

You can use this spring-servlet.xml file

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
    xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xsi:schemaLocation="
                    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans     
                    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
                    http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc 
                    http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc.xsd
                    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context 
                    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context.xsd">


    <context:component-scan base-package="com.cts"></context:component-scan>

    <bean
        class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
    </bean>
    <bean id="messageSource"
        class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
    </bean>
    <bean id="validator"
        class="org.springframework.validation.beanvalidation.LocalValidatorFactoryBean"></bean>
    <mvc:interceptors>
        <bean class="org.springframework.web.,servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor">
            <property name="paramName" value="locale"></property>
        </bean>
    </mvc:interceptors>
    <mvc:annotation-driven />


</beans>
