No view resolvers found

How do you correctly set up your servlet.xml so that the view resolver is detected by Intellij?

in web.xml i have a DispatcherServlet configured named 'spring' that is configured with the config file spring-servlet.xml

in spring-servlet.xml there is the following

    <context:component-scan base-package="my package"/>

    <mvc:annotation-driven />

    <bean id="internalResourceViewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">

        <property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>

        <property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/htm/"/>

        <property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>

    </bean>

Intellij detects that my controller is configured by that component scan, but does not see the view resolver so all of my ' new ModelAndView("foo")' show the message 'No view resolvers found. 

Are there any special requirements to configuring the view resolver to cause it to be detected by Intellij?
