Solution :
Make sure, following jar file included in your class path and lib folder.

spring-webmvc-3.0.5.RELEASE.jar

if you are using maven, make sure you have included dependency for spring-webmvc jar file

 

   org.springframework
   spring-webmvc
   ${org.springframework.version}
   
  

Note : Replace ${org.springframework.version} with version number.
