Servlet-mapping glitch with spring mvc

​If I try: 

<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>app</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>

I get this error: 

No mapping found for HTTP request with URI [/sample/WEB-INF/jsp/person.jsp]

If I try just / as <url-pattern> then everything works fine.

My url : http://localhost:8080/sample/person

Why is this happening? What is the preferred way of doing this configuration in web.xml?

My app-servlet.xml has : 

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/jsp/" />
    <property name="suffix" value=".jsp" />
</bean>

You mapped /* (every request to your app) to your servlet called 'app'. The InternalResourceViewResolver than looks (internally) for '/person' inside '/WEB-INF/jsp/person.jsp'. This way you can access your views, while the scripts are secured inside WEB-INF, which is not accessible from the url (public).

/* means every public request to your web-app. It means for your jsp it should be public accessed, since it is in WEB-INF and not public it will give error.

If you use only / it means server took the request and the web-app processes it internal without any public access.
