[Building Sakai] Spring MVC Maven Archetype - Servlet problem

[Ryan VanDyke]

I'm trying to get the Sakai Spring MVC Maven Archetype to work using this guide:

https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/BOOT/Sakai+Spring+MVC+Maven+Archetype

I'm able to compile and deploy everything just fine however when I add it as a tool to a site it shows "HTTP Status 503 - Servlet springapp is currently unavailable." Happens in both Sakai 2.9.x and 10.1. Wondering if someone could point me in the right direction on this. The dependencies are in the pom files and Maven (3.2.3) downloaded them but Tomcat (v7.0.55) doesn't seem to be able to find them. I'm just not sure what I would need to put where to fix the issue. Thanks in advance for any help on this. Below is the error in the catalina log file:

SEVERE: Servlet /sakai-spring-maven-archetype-tool threw load() exception
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
