org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory'

Question

I am using spring and hibernate for configuration with mysql db.

My we.xml file has following code :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

    <welcome-file-list>
        <welcome-file>index.jsp</welcome-file>
    </welcome-file-list>

My applicationcontext.xml file has following imports :

</beans>

My spring-db-applicationContext.xml has following code :

I have included appropriate lib. Now at the time of running the project, i am getting following error :

Spring is telling you exactly what the problem is, you just have to read the log and nested error message:

Cannot resolve reference to bean 'sessionFactory' while setting bean property 'sessionFactory'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCurrentlyInCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory': FactoryBean which is currently in creation returned null from getObject

A bit of Google searching suggests that this error message is usually the result of a circular dependency, and also led to a mailing list post that recommends removing default-autowire="detect" from your <beans> element.

The first link in the answer point to another forum thread on forum.springframework.org, which was moved to the forum.spring.io domain. The correct link to the solution of the circular dependency problem is: http://forum.spring.io/forum/spring-projects/container/32496-circular-dependency – Attila Csipak Jun 18 '18 at 07:29
