spring app cant find mapping of my jsp index page - spring-mvc

Question

i am having issues loading a simple index.jsp page using spring 3 and tomcat 7.0
the error i recieve from the tomcat logs is this:
2011-02-07 11:36:18,510 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] -
DispatcherServlet with name 'raceLeague' processing GET request for [/Online Racing League/index.htm]>
2011-02-07 11:36:18,515 WARN [org.springframework.web.servlet.PageNotFound] - No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/Online Racing League/index.htm] in DispatcherServlet with name 'raceLeague'>
2011-02-07 11:36:18,515 DEBUG [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet] - Successfully completed request>
Here is what my web.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/web-app_2_5.xsd"
version="2.5">
<!-- Reads request input using UTF-8 encoding -->
<filter>
<filter-name>characterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.CharacterEncodingFilter</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>encoding</param-name>
<param-value>UTF-8</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>forceEncoding</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>characterEncodingFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<!-- Register and setup my servlet xml files here -->
<!-- Handles all requests into the application -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>raceLeague</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml
</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>raceLeague</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
</web-app>
And here is my servlet-context.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.0.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.0.xsd">
<!-- Scans the classpath of this application for #Components to deploy as beans -->
<context:component-scan base-package="org.springframework.samples.mvc.basic" />
<!-- Configures the #Controller programming model -->
<mvc:annotation-driven />
<!-- Forwards requests to the "/" resource to the "welcome" view -->
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="welcome"/>
<!-- Configures Handler Interceptors -->
<mvc:interceptors>
<!-- Changes the locale when a 'locale' request parameter is sent; e.g. /?locale=de -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.LocaleChangeInterceptor" />
</mvc:interceptors>
<!-- Handles HTTP GET requests for /resources/** by efficiently serving up static resources in the ${webappRoot}/resources/ directory -->
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />
<!-- Saves a locale change using a cookie -->
<bean id="localeResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.i18n.CookieLocaleResolver" />
<!-- Application Message Bundle -->
<bean id="messageSource" class="org.springframework.context.support.ReloadableResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename" value="/WEB-INF/messages/messages" />
<property name="cacheSeconds" value="0" />
</bean>
<!-- Resolves view names to protected .jsp resources within the /WEB-INF/views directory -->
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/views/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
Finally my index.jsp file
<%# include file="/WEB-INF/views/include.jsp" %>
<html>
<head><title>Online racing league</title></head>
<body>
<h1>Test</h1>
<table>
<tr>
<td>Upload a file</td>
<td>Display App list</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
i basically followed this example here so my projetc structure is similar to that http://blog.springsource.com/2009/12/21/mvc-simplifications-in-spring-3-0/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Interface21TeamBlog+%28SpringSource+Team+Blog%29
I am also using eclipse IDE

You also need a <mvc:default-servlet-handler/> to serve static resources when your servlet is bound to /.
