Error creating bean with name 'musicDao': Injection of autowired dependencies failed

Question

I have created a project using spring4 and hibernate. But it fails to run due to Bean creation Exception.The Code and Root Cause are provided below.

MusicDaoImpl.class

import com.music.model.Song;

@Repository("musicDao")
public class MusicDaoImpl implements MusicDao {

    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    @Autowired
    public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
    }

    @Transactional
    public void insert(Song m) {
        sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(m);
    }

How can fix this! Thank for your help!

Put hibernate 4 jars and configure dummyname-servlet.xml put in web-Inf folder loaded from web.xml

Answer 2

The hibernate-core dependency is missing in your dependencies list in your pom.xml . Simply add it by adding the following:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
  <artifactId>hibernate-core</artifactId>
  <version>4.3.8.Final</version> <!-- or whatever the 4.x version is you want to use -->
</dependency>

Do a new build of your project and this exception should be gone.
