public class HomeController {

Any ideas? thanks

I believe the application may not be scanning the package that contains the controllers. I see a dao package being scanned but I assume you wouldn't put your controllers there. In your configuration scan the package with the controllers.

<context:component-scan base-package="by.mvc.spring" />
