Issue creating login page with spring hibernate and mysql using spring security

Question

I am creating a simple login web application using spring mvn with hibernate and spring security, but getting the following error. Application works fine when I remove spring security. I don't know how to fix the issue.

Answer 1

@Autowired wires by type and @Resource wires by name.

So you can change it to Autowired to inject SessionFactory in your UserDAOImpl class like below

@Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

(Or) You can mention the resource name in the annotation like this

@Resource(name="sessionFactory")
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

Here sessionFactory is the exact name/id given to Hibernate SessionFactory bean defined in your servlet-context.xml

<beans:bean id="sessionFactory"
        class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
