Maven

I am creating environment for setting up a spring project using maven , spring.

when i run the project on tomcat server. These URLs are working fine.

http://localhost:8080/assignment2_farooqab/index.jsp[^]

This URL is also working ok

http://localhost:8080/assignment2_farooqab/welcome/[^]

But i am getting error while trying to execute this URL
http://localhost:8080/assignment2_farooqab/WEB-INF/pages/index.jsp[^]

The Error is
HTTP Status 404
The resource is not available


I think the problem is due to this file mvcdispather xml

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

        <bean
                class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
                <property name="prefix">
                        <value>/WEB-INF/pages/</value>
                </property>
                <property name="suffix">
                        <value>.jsp</value>
                </property>
        </bean>

</beans>

BaseController.java file is

package no.uio.inf5750.assignment2_farooqab.controller;

import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.ui.ModelMap;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.PathVariable;

 
@Controller
public class BaseController {

        @RequestMapping(value="/", method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public String welcome(ModelMap model) {

                model.addAttribute("message", "Maven Web Project + Spring 3 MVC - welcome()");

                //Spring uses InternalResourceViewResolver and return back index.jsp
                return "index";

        }

        @RequestMapping(value="/welcome/{name}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
        public String welcomeName(@PathVariable String name, ModelMap model) {

                model.addAttribute("message", "Maven Web Project + Spring 3 MVC - " + name);
                return "index";

        }

}

Any tips??
