SpringFrameWork missing Method "SetPackagesToScan()"

Question

premise: I have started to watching course on the Udemy. I think problem is, this course published couple years ago and spring frame work has been changed a lot since when he published this course.

the problem is I can't reach SetPackagesToScan() method, it is missing by IDE

I am newbie about springframework I don't want to be discouraged at this point because I am striving to solve this problem for 2 days I haven't solved this issue so far.

package com.alper.sarac;

import java.beans.PropertyVetoException;
import java.util.Properties;

import org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean;

import com.mchange.v2.c3p0.ComboPooledDataSource;

public class Connection {
    
    public ComboPooledDataSource connection() throws PropertyVetoException{
        
        ComboPooledDataSource cpds = new ComboPooledDataSource();
        cpds.setDriverClass("com.mysql.jbdc.Driver");
        cpds.setJdbcUrl("jbdc:mysql://localhost/javaee");
        cpds.setUser("root");
        cpds.setPassword("");
        return  cpds;
    
    }
    
    public void sessionFactory() throws PropertyVetoException{
        LocalSessionFactoryBean sessionFactory = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
        sessionFactory.setDataSource(connection());
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.setProperty("hibarnate.dialect","org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect");
        properties.setProperty("hibernate.hbm2dl.auto","update");
        properties.setProperty("hibernate.show_sql","true");
        properties.setProperty("hibernate.format_sql","true");
        
        
        sessionFactory.setHibernateProperties(properties);
        sessionFactory.SetPackagesToScan();
    }

}

Which version of Spring are you using? Looking at the doc, the method exists : https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/orm/hibernate5/LocalSessionFactoryBean.html#setPackagesToScan-java.lang.String...- — akuma8, Sep 24 '20 at 09:29
Why are you using that version? Is there any constraint for upgrading? — akuma8, Sep 24 '20 at 09:35
no there is a no constraint which version should I use? @akuma8 — sarac, Sep 24 '20 at 09:36
Upgrade all your dependencies to their latest version, see this post for how to check dependencies version: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2687220/maven-check-for-updated-dependencies-in-repository — akuma8, Sep 24 '20 at 09:41
I don't know, How can I do that? I am beginner of spring framework. should I update pom.xml file or something else? @akuma8 — sarac, Sep 24 '20 at 10:14

org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean does not have the needed method, see https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/3.2.x/javadoc-api/org/springframework/orm/hibernate3/LocalSessionFactoryBean.html

You can use org.springframework.orm.hibernate5, see https://docs.spring.io/spring-framework/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/orm/hibernate5/LocalSessionFactoryBean.html

Old answer: You made two typos. Change

sessionFactory.SetPackagesToScan()

to

sessionFactory.setPackagesToScan();

You provided a code snipped that can not work. I assume you copied your code which misses a ; (I see you changed that in your question) and uses a wrong method name (which is still wrong in your provided code). As others commented, the method setPackagesToScan exists, the method SetPackagesToScan does not. – Andreas Sep 24 '20 at 09:53
But I still can't reach setPackagesToScan() method – sarac Sep 24 '20 at 10:16
Try change import org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean; toimport org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean; I can't find the method in hibernate3 documentation but only in hibernate 5 – Andreas Sep 24 '20 at 10:56
You are GREAT!!! thank you so much!! update your answer – sarac Sep 24 '20 at 11:16
