title: Where is the exact location of spring config file and web.xml?
body: <p>Getting the Class Not Found Exception for DispatcherServlet while rendering index.jsp which is in WEB-CONTENT/WEB-INF/jsp/index.jsp</p>
  
  <p>Following are how the project is structured.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>web.xml is under WEB-CONTENT.</li>
  <li>abc is the name of my Dispatcher servlet. So config file will be abc-servlet.xml which will contain the bean tag with all the
  namespace and schemas defined.</li>
  <li>Where should i place the abc-servlet.xml file? Should it be in the classes folder or where the web.xml is?</li>
  <li>Is the exception arising because of the location of the spring config file?</li>
  <li>Also, what if i place the config file in other location how do i let the project know it is at that particular path in the project?</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I am using annotation driven controller in the smaple project. </p>
