Displaying Static content in JSP page in Spring MVC

I am trying to display static contents in the Webpage: But getting the error as below: Can any one of you please help me out?
I got this error especially after adding the <annotation driven > in application-context.xml

1) web.xml

2) Application Context.xml

3) Folder structure:

Webcontent
meta-inf
resources
images
sample.jsp

web-inf

[b]4)Homepage.jsp

<body>
<img src="<c:url value="/resources/images/sribala.jpg" />"/>

<table class="ex" cellspacing=10 cellpadding=10 width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="40%">
:
:
</body>

[/b]

Additional Information:

if i remove the <annotation-driven> tag, then i get the 404 error

Folder structure: ( was not properly aligned in the previous message)

Thanks in advance!

This has nothing to do with displaying static content in a page. It has everything to do with the fact that <mvc:annotation-driven> turns on, among other things, JSR-303 validation support in Spring MVC. To support that, you need a JSR-303 implementation such as Hibernate's validation in the classpath. If you read the error, that's what it's saying.

When you remove <mvc:annotation-driven> you turn off Spring MVC's ability to map requests to controllers using annotations. Thus, the request you submit is not tied to any controller and you get a 404.
