No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/MyTesting/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'mvc-dispatcher'

Question

I am new to spring mvc and Maven. I am trying to get a simple hello world example working. I don't see where I am going wrong it should be straight forward. I am using Maven 3, Eclipse Kepler, Tomcat 6 on a MAC OS.

Can Someone please see the below code and see what is wrong? When I hit localhost:8080/MyTesting I expect to get my welcome file on browser but I get this on the browser:

HTTP Status 404 -

type Status report

message

description The requested resource is not available.

on Eclipse console I get:

WARNING: No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/MyTesting/] in DispatcherServlet with name 'mvc-dispatcher'

I think you don't create controller for dispatcher map. I found this tutorial very helpful about create spring mvc.
