title: Spring MVC DispatcherServlet Mapping
body: <p>I am creating a simple spring mvc app. How can I configure the spring DispatcherServlet to accept url pattern like below.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;web-app xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" 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_3_0.xsd" id="WebApp_ID" version="3.0"&gt;
    &lt;display-name&gt;SpringMVC&lt;/display-name&gt;
    &lt;welcome-file-list&gt;
      &lt;welcome-file&gt;index.jsp&lt;/welcome-file&gt;
    &lt;/welcome-file-list&gt;
  
    &lt;servlet&gt;
      &lt;servlet-name&gt;spring&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;spring&lt;/servlet-name&gt;
      &lt;url-pattern&gt;/*&lt;/url-pattern&gt;
    &lt;/servlet-mapping&gt;
  &lt;/web-app&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Currently I am getting below warning on starting the app.</p>
  
  <pre><code>WARNING: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/SpringMVC/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'spring'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>spring-servlet.xml (I have added the default servlet handler as well)</p>
