Answer 1

You should change your config.

<servlet-name>/*</servlet-name>  

to

<servlet-name>[dispatch servlet name]</servlet-name>

Most browsers do not support action=PUT in HTML forms. They will just send POST requests instead. The HiddenHttpMethodFilter will help you get around the problem, but you have to include a hidden field _method=PUT in your form. If you use the spring:form taglib this will be done automatically for you, but your example seems to use plain HTML.

The NoSuchBeanDefinitionException is most probably an unrelated problem.
