<p><b>Step 1:</b> Create a <b><i>Dynamic Web Project</i></b> with a name <b><i>SpringMVCHelloWeb</i></b> and create a package <i><b>com</b>.<b>dineshonjava.controller</b></i> under the <b><i>src</i> </b>folder in the created project.</p>
<p><b>Step 2: </b>Add below mentioned <b>Spring 3.0 libraries</b> and other libraries into the folder <b><i>WebRoot/WEB-INF/lib</i></b>.</p>

<p><b>Step 3: </b>Create a Java class <b><i>HelloWorldController</i> </b>under the <i><b>com</b>.<b>dineshonjava.controller</b></i> package.</p>
<p><b>Step 4:</b> Create Spring configuration files <b><i>Web.xml</i></b> and <b><i>sdnext-servlet.xml</i></b> under the <b><i>WebRoot/WEB-INF/ </i></b>folder.</p>
<p><b>Step 5:</b> Create a sub-folder with a name <i><b>views </b></i>under the <i><b>WebRoot/WEB-INF </b></i>folder. Create a view file <b><i>hello.jsp</i></b> under this sub-folder.</p>
<p><b>Step <i>6</i>:</b> The final step is to create the content of all the source and configuration files name <i><b>sdnext-servlet.xml</b></i> under the sub-folder <i><b>WebRoot/WEB-INF/config </b></i>and export the application as explained below.</p>
<p><b>Software versions used to run the sample code:</b></p>
<ul>
<li>Spring 3.0</li>
<li>Java 1.6</li>
<li>Tomcat 7</li>
<li>JSTL 1.2</li>

<p>Once you are done with creating source and configuration files, export your application. Right click on your application and use <i><b>Export ->; WAR</b></i> File option and save your <i><b>SpringMVCHelloWorld.war</b></i> file in Tomcat&#8217;s webapps folder.</p>
<p>Now start your Tomcat server and make sure you are able to access other web pages from webapps folder using a standard browser. Now try to access the URL <i><b>http://localhost:8080/sdnext/hello</b></i> and if everything is fine with your Spring Web Application, you should see the following result:</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img src="https://dineshonjava.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/mvcoutput.jpg" border="0" /></div>
<p>You should note that in the given URL, <i><b>sdnext </b></i>is the application name and <i><b>hello</b></i> is the virtual subfolder which we have mentioned in our controller using <i><b>@RequestMapping(&#8220;/hello&#8221;).</b></i> You can use direct root while mapping your URL using <i><b>@RequestMapping(&#8220;/&#8221;),</b></i> in this case you can access the same page using short URL <i><b>http://localhost:8080/</b></i><i><b><i><b>sdnext </b></i>/</b></i> but it is advised to have different functionalities under different folders.</p>
