Thymeleaf template/ view not found - Spring 4

I'm setting up a new SPring4 app using Thymeleaf and keep encountering the same issue when it comes to returning the view. I've searched don here and followed some online tutorials but the same error so I'm thinking it may be due to configuration, any help is appreciated, thanks.
The error : org.thymeleaf.exceptions.TemplateInputException: Error resolving template "index", template might not exist or might not be accessible by any of the configured Template Resolvers
And then my config is:

Datasource bean definition in applicationContext.xml

I am building a Spring MVC Web application. I have created applicationContext.xml file. I am trying to connect to mysql database. But when I define datasource bean in applicationContext.xml the tomcat server starts and it says 404- resource not found.
If I remove all the beans from the applicationContext.xml the project runs properly.
What am I doing wrong? It is said that datasources should be defined in the applicationContext.xml but is there other way to define datasource?
Here is my applicationContext.xml file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"

And this is my web.xml file

Can you please point out what am I doing wrong here?

san your problem is most likely to be in <context:property-placeholder location="jdbc.properties" /> it should be like this <context:property-placeholder location="classpath:/jdbc.properties" /> i am assuming that the application can not start because there is an error in the listener (the listener can not find the jdbc.properties)i think that you have put jdbc.properties in your classpath because you probably wont put jdbc.properties in the web folder making it accessible to every one can access to your application

Why #Component Spring Filter is not found ?

I have implement COrs Filter to handle the CORS. But the Filter is not found by Spring. So i still have the following error:
XMLHttpRequest cannot load http://localhost:8080/app-web/user/create. No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource. Origin 'http://localhost' is therefore not allowed access.
Here is the Cors Filter : in package com.day.jobly.web.filters;
#Component
public class SimpleCORSFilter implements Filter {
#Override
public void destroy() {
}
#Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse res, FilterChain chain) throws IOException,
ServletException {
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) res;
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Origin", "*");
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Methods", "POST,PUT, GET, OPTIONS, DELETE");
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Max-Age", "3600");
response.setHeader("Access-Control-Allow-Headers", "x-requested-with");
System.out.println("DO FILTER
chain.doFilter(req, res);
}
#Override
public void init(FilterConfig config) throws ServletException {
}
}

Why this configuration <context:annotation-config /> does not work ?

You need to register the filter in web.xml, not as component in spring context.
To register in web.xml, add an xml fragment similar to characterEncodingFilter:
<filter>
<filter-name>corsFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.day.jobly.web.filters.SimpleCORSFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>corsFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
If you need to add a "spring-bean" as a web-filter:
You could use a delegating filter proxy , like spring-security does
You can also use WebAppInitializer, but this is more complicated.

Spring #Autowired Field - NoSuchBeanDefinitionException

I realize this question has been asked many times, but those answers don't seem to get me working.
The class which has the #Autowired field:
#Component
public class SpecialClaimsCaseManager {
#Autowired
private SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService<SpecialClaimsCaseDto> service;
public SpecialClaimsCaseManager() {
}
public Collection<SpecialClaimsCase> findAll() {
return convertToSpecialClaimsCase(service.findAll());
}
The interface SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService
public interface SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService<C extends SpecialClaimsCaseDto> {
//Some method signatures, not relevant
The implementation class (what should be injected)
#Service("specialClaimsCaseRepositoryService")
public class SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryServiceImpl implements SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService<SpecialClaimsCaseDto> {
//Some method implementations, not relevant

Full stack trace (fpasted because it's pretty long) http://fpaste.org/116696/14049194/
So, as we can see, mvc:annotation-driven is enabled, and autowiring is enabled. If I understand this correctly (I might not, pretty new to Spring), this should be all I need. SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService is an interface, if that matters, though I don't think it should as this same #Autowiring worked fine in another class annotated with #Controller.
Thanks for any help!

You'll notice from your stack trace that the exception occurs in the process of initializing the root application context loaded by the ContextLoaderListener. That's taken from
<!-- Spring Configuration Files -->
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>
WEB-INF/application-security.xml
classpath*:sch_model_spring.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
In those two, you are scanning
<context:component-scan base-package="com.redacted.sch.model"/>
but not the com.redacted.sch.service... package that is required by one of the beans.
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.redacted.sch.service.SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService com.redacted.sch.model.SpecialClaimsCaseManager.specialClaimsCaseRepositoryService;
In this case, xyz.model.SpecialClaimsCaseManager has an #Autowired field of type xyz.service.SpecialClaimsCaseRepositoryService, but no such bean exists.
Don't mix component-scanned folders between application contexts, those loaded by ContextLoaderListener vs DispatcherServlet. Refactor so that application beans are loaded by the ContextLoaderListener and controller-related beans are loaded by the DispatcherServlet.

OpenSessionInViewFilter doesnt work in a JSF+Spring+Hibernate application

I want to use OpenSessionInViewFilter in my JSF 2.1+Spring 3.1+Hibernate 3.6.6 project
in order to get rid of the .LazyInitializationException.
Although i declare the filter in web.xml i keep getting ;

I use spring managed(HibernateTemplate) hibernate daos for db operations.Thanks for the help.

You just have to be sure that you are not redirecting between JSF view for example:
In this view your Open Session in vew Filter will work:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>start.xhtml</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>page1</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>page1.xhtml</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
and if you modify this example this way:
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>start.xhtml</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>page1</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>page1.xhtml</to-view-id>
<redirect />
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Your Filter will bnot help you because you are redirecting and this is completely new request and your original Hibernate session is already closed.
Inspired by this post:
OpenSessionInViewFilter +Redirect in JSF

When does it fail? I can see that you use Spring Security and have springSecurityFilterChain defined in you web.xml. And would assume that filter loads user from database and user has lazy collection that is accessed later, when Hibernate session created during authentication is propably closed, before OpenSessionInView filter starts executing.
Remember that filter-mapping order makes sense, filter executed in the order of their filter mappings are declared. I would try reorder them first.
