compatibility of spring 4.0.0 with hibernate 4.30 [duplicate]

Answer 1

Use org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean in place of org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean

then it will work

Answer 2

if you are using hibernate4.x

To solve the exception caused by java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: [Lorg/hibernate/engine/FilterDefinition;

In dipatcher-servlet,instead of

 <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">

use

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">

Answer 3

This is the relevant error:

Could not autowire field: private org.hibernate.SessionFactory com.venkat.homeapp.dao.impl.CustomerDAOImpl.sessionFactory; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError [Lorg/hibernate/engine/FilterDefinition;

and this is the probable cause:

  class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
  class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">

see that you have both hibernate4 and hibernate3 things in there. Copied from this answer,

I think you should use org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean instead of org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean

From LocalSessionFactoryBean javadoc:

NOTE: This variant of LocalSessionFactoryBean requires Hibernate 4.0 or higher. It is similar in role to the same-named class in the orm.hibernate3 package. However, in practice, it is closer to AnnotationSessionFactoryBean since its core purpose is to bootstrap a SessionFactory from annotation scanning.
