Problems with SPRING 3.0 annotated Controller - spring-mvc

Question

Hi im new in the spring world so i want to create my own controller using #Controller notation, but i suppose im doing something bad. Anybody can help me???
Here is my dispatch-servlet
<bean Class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping"/>
<context:component-scan base-package="hibernateTest.web" />
<context:annotation-config/>
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter"/>
<bean id="viewResolver"
class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver"
p:prefix="/WEB-INF/jsp/"
p:suffix=".jsp" />
And here is my controller
package springapp.web;
import com.sun.msv.reader.Controller;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory;
import org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.logging.Log;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.portlet.ModelAndView;
import springapp.service.ProductManager;
#org.springframework.stereotype.Controller
public class HelloController {
protected final Log logger = (Log) LogFactory.getLog(getClass());
private ProductManager productManager;
#RequestMapping("/hello.htm")
public ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
String now = (new java.util.Date()).toString();
logger.info("returning hello view with " + now);
Map<String, Object> myModel = new HashMap<String, Object>();
myModel.put("now", now);
myModel.put("products", this.productManager.getProducts());
return new ModelAndView("hello", "model", myModel);
}}
The result of running this is a 404, when The hello.jsp exist

Answer 1

Your controller class is in package springapp.web, while in context:component-scan you have base-package set to hibernateTest.web.
Spring cannot detect your controller, because your configuration tells it to search for annotated classes only in hibernateTest.web package.
Changing package name in context:component-scan should fix this:
<context:component-scan base-package="springapp.web" />
