Spring Hibernate integration with maven and mysql

I need to have a project with spring hibernate and mysql, the homepage works fine (it even gets data out from mysql and displays it) but when i click the add/edit or delete button i get a 404 error with the description The request sent by the client was syntactically incorrect. My student Controller.java

package com.joseph.controller;

import java.util.Map;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Controller;
import org.springframework.validation.BindingResult;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.ModelAttribute;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMethod;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam;

import com.joseph.model.Student;
import com.joseph.service.StudentService;

@Controller
public class StudentController {
@Autowired
private StudentService studentService;

@RequestMapping("/index")
public String setupForm(Map<String, Object> map){
    Student student = new Student();
    map.put("student", student);
    map.put("studentList", studentService.getAllStudent());
    return "student";
}

@RequestMapping(value="/student.do", method=RequestMethod.POST)
public String doActions(@ModelAttribute Student student, BindingResult result,   @RequestParam String action, Map<String, Object> map){
//      System.out.println("inside doAction");
    Student studentResult = new Student();
//  System.out.println("after student object");
    switch(action.toLowerCase()){//only in Java7 you can put String in switch
    case "add":
        studentService.add(student);
        studentResult = student;
        System.out.println("Inside case action value is - add");
        break;
    case "edit":
        studentService.edit(student);
        studentResult = student;
        System.out.println("Inside case action value is - edit");
        break;
    case "delete":
        studentService.delete(student.getStudentId());
        studentResult = new Student();
        System.out.println("Inside case action value is - delete");
        break;
    case "search":
        Student searchedStudent = studentService.getStudent(student.getStudentId());
        studentResult = searchedStudent!=null ? searchedStudent : new Student();
        System.out.println("Inside case action value is - search");
        break;
    }
    System.out.println("after switch");
    map.put("student", studentResult);
    map.put("studentList", studentService.getAllStudent());
    return "student";
}}
