I have been trying to resolve the issue on my own since 2 days now but can't figure out the solution... I tried referring to those 2 questions but it has not been helpful. I am missing something: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' Spring MVC and Hibernate configurations
I have followed this tutorial to create a simple Spring MVC + Hibernate web app using Maven: http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2010/11/spring3-mvc-hibernate-maven-tutorial-eclipse-example.html I didn't have any issue using maven or importing the libs with the pom.xml. I can deploy the war that I created with Maven properly.
Edit: As pointed in the answers to my questions, I did not declare the commons-collections dependency. After adding it, this is the exception I am getting:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'contactController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private net.viralpatel.contact.service.ContactService net.viralpatel.contact.controller.ContactController.contactService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'contactServiceImpl': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private net.viralpatel.contact.dao.ContactDAO net.viralpatel.contact.service.ContactServiceImpl.contactDAO; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'contactDAOImpl': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private org.hibernate.SessionFactory net.viralpatel.contact.dao.ContactDAOImpl.sessionFactory; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/spring-servlet.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'configurationClass' of bean class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean]: Bean property 'configurationClass' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?
org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.postProcessPropertyValues(AutowiredAnnotationBeanPostProcessor.java:287)
Note: If I delete the property below:
<property name="configurationClass">
<value>org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration</value>
Then I have a 404 error after deploying the application in tomcat.
Here is the servlet-spring.xml as it is right now:
