Despite having access to various spring web mvc resources, I still had some issues putting together all the components for a running application on tomcat. Between various configuration conflicts, outdated information, and a few environment hiccups using the latest technologies, it was a nice learning experience. Big thanks to a few blogs out there that really helped. I saw a lot of comments and threads around similar issues that I dealt with. Hope this helps someone else get started!
