No default constructor found; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodException with Spring MVC?

Spring cannot instantiate your TestController because its only constructor requires a parameter. You can add a no-arg constructor or you add @Autowired annotation to the constructor:

@Autowired
public TestController(KeeperClient testClient) {
    TestController.testClient = testClient;
}

In this case, you are explicitly telling Spring to search the application context for a KeeperClient bean and inject it when instantiating the TestControlller.
