This is an IDE Error, Which can be resolved by adding the following to your Spring Dispatcher Servlet

xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"

And also add the following snippet if it is not included in your xml file

xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd"
