I think it is not reading the dispatch-servlet.xml file.

I have created a simple webapp that works fine when deployed locally. But when uploaded to the host, it is not finding the pages. It does load the welcome page, but it does not load any of the pages that need to be resolved in the servlet with internalresourceviewresolver. The webapp is located on our sub-domain called clientportal. The directory listing is as follows:
clientportal
    index.jsp
    WEB-INF
          classes
                   GsrPkg
                   view
                    util
           lib
           web.xml
           dispatch-servlet.xml
view is where the jsps are located, util has the utility class and GsrPkg has the rest of the classes.
Why does it work locally and not on the host. It seems as if the dispatch-servlet.xml file is not being read. Both are using TomCat 5.x.
