How to configure mapping in Spring MVC and Tomcat

Question

im trying configure SpringMVC project and i have error when compile

WARN : org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/test/home.jsp] in DispatcherServlet with name 'appServlet'

I have a jsp page here: /test/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/views/home.jsp

This is my code: /test/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"

        </param-value>
    </context-param>

        </init-param>
        <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
    </servlet>

    <servlet-mapping>
        <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </servlet-mapping>
    <filter>
        <filter-name>charsetFilter</filter-name>
        <filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>encoding</param-name>
            <param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
        </init-param>
        <init-param>
            <param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>

don't use jsp extension directly map it as html for example

<display-name>appServlet</display-name>
    <servlet>
    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

and then in your controller map file without extention:

@RequestMapping(value="/home.html", method=RequestMethod.GET)
    public ModelAndView indexView(){
        ModelAndView mv = new ModelAndView("test/home");
        return mv;
    }

in this example as soon as the user hits /home.html Dispatcher servlet will resolve it and retrieve /test/home.jsp

Hope it helps.
