java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet google app engine

Question

Hello Everyone,

I'm trying to set up an application for Google app engine, and I cannot make it work. I'm have everything set up with maven but spring its not working.

I've been trough a lot of configuration setting and I cannot get it done!!

Here you have the stack trace:

If someone could give me an idea it will be great!!

You don't have spring mvc jar in your classpath. Check the WEB-INF/lib directory of your web application to see if the jar file is there otherwise out it here. The jar files in this directory are loaded in classpath by default.
