WebApplicationInitializer not reached

Question

I'm building a BlogPost for a school project with Spring. I can reach my index.jsp but when I map to other controllers I get a 404. When I set a breakpoint in my WebApplicationInitializer in the @OnStartUp method it never gets reached. Does anybody know What I'm missing here? Thanks!

Here's my code:

WebapplicationInitializer:

public class Initializer implements WebApplicationInitializer{
    @Override
    public void onStartup(ServletContext servletContext) throws ServletException {
        WebApplicationContext dispatcherContext = getContext();
        servletContext.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(dispatcherContext));
        ServletRegistration.Dynamic servlet = servletContext.addServlet("dispatcher", new DispatcherServlet(dispatcherContext));
        servlet.addMapping("/");
        servlet.setLoadOnStartup(1);
    }

    private WebApplicationContext getContext(){
        AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext context = new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
        context.setConfigLocation("be.kdg.BlogPostSpringMVC.configuration");
        return context;
    }
}

Change context.setConfigLocation("be.kdg.BlogPostSpringMVC.configuration") to context.scan("be.kdg.BlogPostSpringMVC.configuration").

setConfigLocation() is used to specify the location of the spring configuration file.
