I am running a Tomcat7 application using Spring MVC on OpenShift under the domain: financial-datasite.rhcloud.com. I run and test the application locally using a Tomcat server and later push it to the remote repository. Currently, there's only a HomePage and a button underneath redirecting to a different page. When testing locally, both pages display contents as expected. However, when deployed to the remote server, only the HomePage is displayed, and on clicking the button, I get an HTTP 404 error. I have come across various similar questions here, but none of them have helped so far. I have played around configuring the web.xml, pom.xml, servlet-context.xml, and the controller files. However, none of those have helped. I have also been checking the tail files and logs to monitor what's happening, which suggests that the remote server is accessing some 'printWelcome' method (which doesn't even exist in my project) in the controller class for the second page:
INFO : org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping - Mapped "{[/Sectors],methods=[GET],params=[],headers=[],consumes=[],produces=[],custom=[]}" onto public java.lang.String com.spring.mvc.SectorController.printWelcome(org.springframework.ui.ModelMap)
Here is my project structure. In my localhost, the default page is run as localhost:8181/mvc/ and the second page is run as http://localhost:8181/mvc/Sectors. Similarly, post deployment, the home page is run as http://financial-datasite.rhcloud.com and the second page executed as http://financial-datasite.rhcloud.com/Sectors, which throws a 404 error for /WEB-INF/views/hello.jsp, which, again, doesn't even exist in my project directory. Another thing I observed in the log files are that the code is likely not hitting the SectorController class as I have coded for print commands to be logged, which aren't really getting logged into the console when the page is requested from the deployed site. I am quite unsure about which files are being run on the remote server and if there are any configuration issues that I am unaware of. Following are my web.xml, pom.xml, servlet-context.xml, Sectors.jsp, Google-Maps.js from where I've called the new page to load), and SectorController.java (which is the controller file for the second page). Apologies for a lengthy question, please let me know if you require any more information. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

As Jessai noted in a comment,
var _Window = window.open('/mvc/Sectors', '__blank');
Do not use your project name explicitly! There are a ways to get your context name, such as request.getContextPath() method of HttpServletRequest.
In this case with a hard-coded URL string I think that you can use relative URL, just 'Sectors' or './Sectors'.
References:
'__blank' : you meant '_blank' ?
By the way:
You are deploying on Tomcat 7, so you can declare adherence to Servlet 3.0 specification instead of 2.5 in your web.xml file.
See the following to disable components scanning at startup:
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo/FasterStartUp#Configure_your_web_application
On
INFO : org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping - Mapped "{[/Sectors],methods=[GET],params=[],headers=[],consumes=[],produces=[],custom=[]}" onto public java.lang.String com.spring.mvc.SectorController.printWelcome(org.springframework.ui.ModelMap)
If your class file does not match your source code, it means that your code has not been compiled. Delete your compiled classes (e.g. use mvn clean) and try again.
If you are curious, you can unpack your war file with any ZIP archiver application and look what is actually there.
Do you or our company own the domain name of http://spring.com web site? If not, DO NOT use package name com.spring and do not use <groupId>com.spring</groupId>. Those names do not belong to you. They are someone else's property.
On
<org.springframework-version>3.1.1.RELEASE</org.springframework-version>
If you are using 3.x, why not the current 3.2.12.RELEASE in 3.x series, or better the last 4.1.6.RELEASE? Spring Framework 3.1.x has reached end of life and is no more supported.
