What dependency is missing for org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping?

I had the same problem. After spending hours, I came across the solution that I already added dependency for "spring-webmvc" but missed for "spring-web". So just add the below dependency to resolve this issue. If you already have, just update both to the latest version. It will work for sure.

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-web</artifactId>
    <version>4.1.6.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

You could update the version to "5.1.2" or latest. I used V4.1.6 therefore the build was failing, because this is an old version (one might face compatibility issues).

This solution WORKS , I had the same issue and after hours I came up to this:

(1) Go to your pom.xml

(2) Add this Dependency :

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
        <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
        <version>4.1.6.RELEASE</version>
    </dependency>

(3) Run your Project

I don't think the problem is the dependencies. I guess you are getting that error on your IDE. Then just refresh it. If it's eclipse, try running Maven->Update Dependencies
