404 on REST #RequestMapping - spring-mvc

Question

I'm trying to figure out why I'm getting a 404 error here, but I just can't see it.
Here is my web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ep</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ep</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/ep/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Here is my ep-servlet.xml (Only "beans" tags surround the following code):
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<context:component-scan base-package="server.service2">
</context:component-scan>
Here is the class itself:
package server.service2;
....
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/user")
public class LoginService
{
#RequestMapping(value = "/check/{username}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void checkUsername(#PathVariable("username") String username)
{
}
}
The url i'm hitting with a browser is:
http://<server>:<correct-port>/ep/user/check/username
And it comes back with a 404! Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong here?

Hi #Amorgos you can order your files to next:
web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>ep</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>ep</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- Add Support for Spring -->
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>

<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.request.RequestContextListener</listener-class>
</listener>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.security.web.session.HttpSessionEventPublisher</listener-class>
</listener>
ep-servlet.xml
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="server.service2" />
<beans:bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.support.ControllerClassNameHandlerMapping" />
<!-- Register the bean -->
<beans:bean class="server.service2.LoginService" />
I hopes these helps :)
