I have tried a lot but could not found any solution to this error, can any one see what is wrong with this?

Solution

  • OK there is one big mistake in your pom.xml, change :

    <org.springframework-version>3.1.1.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>

    to

    <org.springframework-version>4.1.6.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>

    I have noticed this important thing here Configuring Apache Tiles 3 and Spring 4 MVC you can download sample project and get in touch with it.
    Hope It would work for you!
