I successfully deployed my webapp to the Tomcat localhost. My app has 2 pages: localhost:8080/spring-mvc and localhost:8080/home. The first page has a link to the second. When I start my app, it successfully opens the first page, but when I follow the link to the second page the error appears:
HTTP Status 404 – Not Found.
It seems like there is no access to the WEB-INF/view folder. Can you help me to resolve this problem?
