Solution to your question

  1. You might be missing hibernate-core-4.3.8.Final.jar in your classpath. It has FilterDefinition class.

  2. Please add this dependency in your POM.xml file if you use Maven.

    <dependency>
 <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
 <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
 <version>4.3.8.Final</version>
</dependency>

  • @ Gowtham, Please check if this exception still persists. – Praveen Kumar K S Feb 12 '16 at 11:12
  • Still issue persists. I have added hibernate-core-4.3.8.Final.jar and spring-orm-4.1.6.RELEASE.jar and in my property file org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean for sessionFactory and org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager for transaction manager. – Gowtham Thurangi Feb 12 '16 at 11:22
  • @Gowtham, Please ensure you have **only** added the **SpringFramework 4.1.6 Bill of Materials (https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/springframework/spring-framework-bom/4.1.6.RELEASE/spring-framework-bom-4.1.6.RELEASE.pom)** jar files in your classpath. – Praveen Kumar K S Feb 12 '16 at 11:35
  • Yes I have added all the dependencies in my classpath. – Gowtham Thurangi Feb 12 '16 at 12:05
  • @GowthamThurangi, Please add your configuration files in your question for better clarity. Also add your POM.xml (if you use) and list of dependent Jar files used in application. – Praveen Kumar K S Feb 12 '16 at 12:30

    You have to use LocalSessionFactoryBean to integrate with Hibernate and for transactions you to have use HibernateTransactionManager. This following link (http://www.baeldung.com/hibernate-4-spring) will serve a good example – Praveen Kumar K S Feb 12 '16 at 13:19
