The following is the mapping for XmlViewResolver in dispatcher-servlet.xml

<?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:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="
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
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc
http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd">

	<context:component-scan base-package="roseindia.controller" />

	<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.XmlViewResolver">
		<property name="location">
			<value>/WEB-INF/spring-views.xml</value>
		</property>

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans 
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.5.xsd">

	<bean id="springView" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView">
		<property name="url" value="/WEB-INF/views/view.jsp" />
	</bean> 
</beans>

package roseindia.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;

@Controller
public class AppController {
