I built a java configured Spring MVC application without any XML. I can deploy and start the application on my laptop without any problems. But as soon as I try to deploy my application on my testserver (tomcat 7), I receive following message:
HTTP Status 404 - The requested resource (/[application context]/) is not available.
I build my applications using the Eclipse Maven plugin. Is it possible to deploy the application without the web.xml and if not, which is the basic web.xml I really need?
Maven WAR Plugin:
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-war-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${maven.war.plugin.version}</version>
<configuration>
<failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml>
</configuration>
</plugin>
WebAppInitializer:
@Order(value = 1)
public class WebAppInitializer extends AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer {
@Override
public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
super.onStartup(servletContext);
}
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getRootConfigClasses() {
return new Class[] { HibernateConfig.class, SecurityConfig.class, HibernateDaoConfig.class };
}
@Override
protected Class<?>[] getServletConfigClasses() {
return new Class[] { WebAppConfig.class };
}
@Override
protected String[] getServletMappings() {
return new String[] { "/" };
}
@Override
protected Filter[] getServletFilters() {
return new Filter[]{};
}
}

SEVERE: The web application [/[appname]] appears to have started a thread named [Abandoned connection cleanup thread] but has failed to stop it. This is very likely to create a memory leak.
