java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet

Question

i am using spring 3.1.0.RELEASE, and my servlet container is tomcat 7 and my IDE is eclipse indigo and the jar spring-webmvc-3.1.0.RELEASE.jar which contains the DispatcherServlet exists in the lib folder, and yet when running the application, i am getting the exception:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet

please advise why i am getting this exception, and how to fix it.

EDIT: following are my configuration files:

1- .springBeans:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beansProjectDescription>
    <version>1</version>
    <pluginVersion><![CDATA[2.9.0.201203011806-RELEASE]]></pluginVersion>
    <configSuffixes>
        <configSuffix><![CDATA[xml]]></configSuffix>
    </configSuffixes>
    <enableImports><![CDATA[false]]></enableImports>
    <configs>
        <config>src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/checkout-servlet.xml</config>
    </configs>
    <configSets>
    </configSets>
</beansProjectDescription>

2- web.xml:

<web-app>
  <display-name>Checkout</display-name>

  <servlet>
    <servlet-name>checkout</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>

  <servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>checkout</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>
  </servlet-mapping>

</web-app>

3- checkout-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:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
    xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
        http://www.springframework.org/schema/context http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.1.xsd">

    <context:component-scan base-package="com.myapp"/>

    <bean id="myService" class="com.myapp.MyService"/>

</beans>

also when trying to access any page in the application, i get the exception:

HTTP Status 404 - Servlet checkout is not available

type Status report

message Servlet checkout is not available

description The requested resource (Servlet checkout is not available) is not available.
Apache Tomcat/7.0.22

can you post your spring config files and tell us what app-server is it supposed to run on? — Gergely Szilagyi, Jun 27 '12 at 13:33
I believe it is not directly a CNF on DispatcherServlet but a dependent class has thrown an error. Check if you see any other nested exception. — adarshr, Jun 27 '12 at 14:37

You need to add the "Maven Dependency" in the Deployement Assembly

right click on your project and choose properties.
click on Deployement Assembly.
click add
click on "Java Build Path Entries"
select Maven Dependencies"
click Finish.

That it!! rebuild and deploy again
