Note :

Add the commons-logging.jar, spring.jar and spring-webmvc.jar (Spring 2.5 or better) to the

/WEB-INF/lib folder.

To run HelloWorld, deploy the application to a Web Container, then request getname.jsp with the

following URL:
http://localhost:8080/HelloWorldAnnotated/getname.jsp

Because the controller has RequestMapping for both POST and GET HTTP methods, you can also

run HelloWorld by requesting the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/HelloWorldAnnotated/greeting.request
