Is setter method required when Autowiring sessionFactory Hibernate 3.6.9?

Question

Following is my code:

diapatcher-servlet.xml

   xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-4.1.xsd
    http://www.springframework.org/schema/context

            http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx
            http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-4.1.xsd
            http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-4.1.xsd">

<mvc:annotation-driven />
<context:component-scan base-package="app" />

<mvc:default-servlet-handler />

  p:password="root" /> 

<bean id="sessionFactory"
          class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
    <property name="configLocation">
        <value>WEB-INF/hibernate.cfg.xml</value>
    </property>

    <property name="hibernateProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="transactionManager"
          class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

<tx:annotation-driven />

<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
    <property name = "prefix" value = "/WEB-INF/views/" />
    <property name = "suffix" value = ".jsp" />
</bean>

UserMasterDao

package app.dao;

import app.model.UserMaster;
import org.hibernate.HibernateException;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.hibernate.Transaction;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;


@Repository
public class UserMasterDao {
    @Autowired
      private static SessionFactory sessionFactory; 

    public UserMaster saveUser(UserMaster user) {
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
          Transaction tx = null;
          Integer employeeID = null;
          try{
             tx = session.beginTransaction();
             session.save(user);
             tx.commit();
          }catch (HibernateException e) {
             if (tx!=null) tx.rollback();
             e.printStackTrace(); 
          }finally {
             session.close(); 
          }
        return user;
    }

}

When I try to deploy my application , I get the following error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'transactionManager' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/dispatcher-servlet.xml]: Error setting property values; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.NotWritablePropertyException: Invalid property 'sessionFactory' of bean class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean]: Bean property 'sessionFactory' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter?

If I add a setter method for sessionFactory, it works fine. But I think as I use @Autowired, setter method should not be required. Is this correct?

So basically I want it to work without the setter method, is it possible?

It's not an issue with your DAO class but with the `LocalSessionFactoryBean` definition. — Arnold Galovics, Mar 28 '17 at 08:06
I don't know what you want to achieve but there are tons of tutorials how to setup Hibernate with Spring. — Arnold Galovics, Mar 28 '17 at 08:12
Yeah that's true and looked them up, but I dont find a tutorial where they haven't used the setter method for sessionFactory. Also I searched through SO QAs but did not suceed — OutOfMind, Mar 28 '17 at 08:18

Not declaring sessionFactory as static helped!

As I found this in https://stackoverflow.com/a/21875258/1934211
