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!
