Issue
I began to learn "Spring MVC" from this course: http://www.pluralsight.com/training/Courses/TableOfContents/springmvc-intro At step "Building->Run the Application" I'm stuck.
When I try to go to link http://localhost:8080/FitnessTracker/greeting.html
I get "HTTP Status 404"
HTTP Status 404 - /FitnessTracker/WEB-INF/jsp/Hello.jsp
type Status report
message /FitnessTracker/WEB-INF/jsp/Hello.jsp
description The requested resource is not available.

http://localhost:8080/FitnessTracker/ - it's work (file: webapp/index.jsp)
Solution
The error message says that it's looking for Hello.jsp. And indeed, your controller returns the following view name: "Hello". But your screenshot shows that your file is naled hello.jsp. The case matters.
