Answer 1

In Eclipse you may get more info on errors in a Problems view tab. Windows -> Show View -> Problems. You'll see a list of actual errors. I used to get the same message "INFO: No Spring WebApplicationInitializer types detected on classpath" when importing the existing Spring project into STS IDE. In my case there were the hibernate-3.2.1.ga.jar corrupted in lib folder. Replacing it have solved all compile problems.

Answer 2

Seems strange to me that URL http://localhost:8080/appRoot/page.jsp produces Directory Listing. Can you try your Tomcat server with another application which is working. The Spring WebApplicationInitializer should deal with web.xml file, where Spring is not initialized properly.

Answer 3

I added WebROOT file directory to the default directory, problems solved.
