Spring MVC controller not getting invoked

Iam getting a HTTP staus 404 error when i click submit on the login page . It seems like the controller does not get invoked at all (i tried placing debug points in the controller but the execution flow doesn't hit that point).

My controller class

package web;
org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;
import org.springframework.web.servlet.ModelAndView;

@Controller
@RequestMapping("/login")
public class LoginController {
    @RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.POST)
    public ModelAndView processCredentials(@RequestParam("userName")String userName,@RequestParam("password")String password) {
        String message = "Invalid credentials";
        if(!userName.equals("") && !password.equals("")) {
            if(userName.equals(password)) {
                message = "Welcome " + userName + "!!";
            }
        }
        return new ModelAndView("results","message",message);
    }
}

When i start the server , i can see the controller and the method name but after pressing submit on the login page controller method is not called . Could anyone tell me what exactly is the issue ? [![Console of the browser submission][2]][2]

You might need to move your jsp file under WEB-INF/jsp like folder directory. Once I got the same kind of issue and solved like that. Then you may need to configure your InternalResourceViewResolver bean as follows:

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

You may want to look at this:
Why jsp files inside WEB-INF folder works , but placed under a folder under WEB-INF doesn't?

i think you will set

public class LoginController {
@RequestMapping(value="/login",method = RequestMethod.POST)
 String message = "Invalid credentials";
    if(!userName.equals("") && !password.equals("")) {
        if(userName.equals(password)) {
            message = "Welcome " + userName + "!!";
        }
    }
    return new ModelAndView("results","message",message);
}

}

its return on results page. check you have a results.jsp page or not?
