    copied!<p>I recently switched one of my static html files to a Spring controller that uses a JSP to render its view. I use jetty to test locally and local testing shows the page rendering fine. Upon deploying to our test server, which uses Tomcat 6.0.26, I get the following exception:</p> <pre><code>javax.servlet.ServletException: Could not get RequestDispatcher for [/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp]: check that this file exists within your WAR org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceView.renderMergedOutputModel(InternalResourceView.java:219) org.springframework.web.servlet.view.AbstractView.render(AbstractView.java:250) org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.render(DispatcherServlet.java:1060) org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doDispatch(DispatcherServlet.java:798) org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet.doService(DispatcherServlet.java:716) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.processRequest(FrameworkServlet.java:644) org.springframework.web.servlet.FrameworkServlet.doGet(FrameworkServlet.java:549) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:617) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:717) </code></pre> <p>I have confirmed that the JSP exists in the war I deploy and the exploded directory that tomcat creates upon deployment. Here is what my web.xml and front-controller-servlet.xml files look like respectively (web.xml shorted slightly):</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;web-app id="WebApp_ID" version="2.5" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:web="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"&gt; &lt;!-- Initialize the Spring DispatcherServlet --&gt; &lt;servlet&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;gwtrpc&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;servlet-class&gt;org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet&lt;/servlet-class&gt; &lt;load-on-startup&gt;1&lt;/load-on-startup&gt; &lt;/servlet&gt; &lt;!-- Map the DispatcherServlet to only intercept RPC requests --&gt; &lt;servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;gwtrpc&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;*.gwtrpc&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;front-controller&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;servlet-class&gt;org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet&lt;/servlet-class&gt; &lt;load-on-startup&gt;1&lt;/load-on-startup&gt; &lt;/servlet&gt; &lt;servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;servlet-name&gt;front-controller&lt;/servlet-name&gt; &lt;url-pattern&gt;/search.html&lt;/url-pattern&gt; &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt; &lt;welcome-file-list&gt; &lt;welcome-file&gt;front-controller&lt;/welcome-file&gt; &lt;welcome-file&gt;index.jsp&lt;/welcome-file&gt; &lt;/welcome-file-list&gt; &lt;/web-app&gt; </code></pre> <p>front-controller-servlet.xml:</p> <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt; &lt;beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context" xmlns:security="http://www.springframework.org/schema/security" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/security http://www.springframework.org/schema/security/spring-security-3.0.xsd"&gt; &lt;bean id="urlMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.handler.SimpleUrlHandlerMapping"&gt; &lt;property name="mappings"&gt; &lt;props&gt; &lt;prop key="/search.html"&gt;indexController&lt;/prop&gt; &lt;/props&gt; &lt;/property&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; &lt;bean id="indexController" class="com.company.search.web.server.controller.IndexController" /&gt; &lt;bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"&gt; &lt;property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" /&gt; &lt;property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/&gt; &lt;property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView" /&gt; &lt;/bean&gt; &lt;/beans&gt; </code></pre> <p>The difference between my dev instance and test instance is that the dev instance is deployed to the root (localhost/search.html) whereas the test instance is deployed to server.com/appname/search.html. Appname is the name of the *.war file I deploy. I have tried adding the full path as the prefix to the jps files (/appname/WEB-INF/jsp/) and a number of other combinations with no luck. I have verified that the jsp-api jars are in the tomcat lib directory. My tomcat install is the basic/default install.</p>
