Spring MVC with Hibernate4 shows Null Pointer Exception in SessionFactory

Question

I can't insert values into Database using Hibernate4 with Spring MVC. It shows SessionFactory null pointer Exception .

My code:

package com.org.rahul.dao;

import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;


import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import com.org.rahul.dm.User;
@Repository
public class Registration {
@Autowired
private SessionFactory ses;
public User addMembers(User user){

Session se=ses.getCurrentSession();
se.persist(user);
String name=user.getName();
System.out.println(name);
return user;
}

}

Exception stack-trace:

Try this :-

@Repository
public class Registration {
    SessionFactory sessionFactory = HibernateUtil.getSessionFactory();
    //Now get Session From SessionFactory instance indivdually for save, Update, delete Methods.
     public User addMembers(User user){
        Session session = sessionFactory.openSession();
        Transaction tx = session.beginTransaction();
        session.save(user);
        tx.commit(); // Must commit transaction if auto_commit  false in Hibernate.cfg.xml file.
        session.close();
        return user; 
     }

}

and check your database connectivity params in cfg file.
