It still didn’t work. When ever I hit localhost:8080/hello or /indexPage or /indexPageWithModel it always says
Whitelabel Error Page
This application has no explicit mapping for /error, so you are seeing this as a fallback.

Answer
Figured it out myself.
When I converted my dynamic webproject into maven project it did not create the folder structure this way
src/main/java
and
src/main/resources
and
src/main/webapp
I manually created myself and moved the jsp files from WebContent/WEB-INF/jsp to src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/jsp and modified the Java build path in the project properties.
Then I restarted the embedded tomcat and tried it again. It worked.
