org.springframework.web.servlet not found in maven

Question

I am trying to download the org.springframework.web.servlet using maven dependency but maven could not download it.i want to know is this dependency is there in maven or not

  <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>org.springframework.web.servlet</artifactId>
        <version>3.1.1.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

or spring has changed its dependency or can we use some alternate dependency for it.please suggest

Answer 1

The package org.springframework.web.servlet is contained in the spring-webmvc module. Use this dependency:

 <dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.1.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>`

Update: Since this post is quite old, please check for newer versions of the spring framework. Release 3.1.1.RELEASE is quite out-dated.
