Question

I am developing Spring MVC + POI + Hibernate example by taking a reference from link : https://krams915.blogspot.in/2011/02/spring-3-apache-poi-hibernate-creating.html?showC

Answer 1

A lots of modification needs to be done in order to use the latest dependencies. I used Spring version 4.3.1.RELEASE and Hibernate version 4.3.11.Final and also used latest version of dependencies for others too.

Here you need to change below in hibernate-context.xml

For hibernate 3.0

For Hibernate 4.0.x

Also: For hibernate 3.0

For Hibernate 4.0

IMP Note: Hibernate 3.5 and onward contains Hibernate Annotations. : You should remove the dependency on hibernate-annotations.
