I am trying to build an app which can list some values from the database and modify, add, delete if necessary using Spring 4 and i receive the following error(only if the "@Controller" annotation is present in both of my controller files, if i delete the annotation from one of the files it works but i get a message in console "no mapping found ... in dispatcherservlet with name ...):
