'Default page in Spring MVC does not render if I add Spring tag
I'm trying to create a simple web application which uses Spring MVC. Here I used Spring tag to link the resources folder. I like to add CSS(div{color:red}) to the default page(index.jsp) as well but it does not render when I add the Spring tag. The welcome.jsp is working properly when I add it there. What could be blocking the jsp file from not rendering properly? I attached the screenshots related to this question. I also included the code involved in web.xml, pom.xml,servlet.xml and the controller class for reference.
