For creating a simple Spring MVC application, we would need to do following tasks.
Add spring-context and spring-webmvc dependencies in the project.
Configure DispatcherServlet in the web.xml file to handle requests through spring container.
Spring bean configuration file to define beans, if using annotations then it has to be configured here. Also we need to configure view resolver for view pages.
Controller class with request mappings defined to handle the client requests.
