My Spring Configuration File

        <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
    </bean>

    <!-- Activates annotation based transaction management -->
    <tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />

and My Java Code

@Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
    /**
     * Simply selects the home view to render by returning its name.
     */
    @Transactional
    public void insertCustomer()
    {
        Registration registration = new Registration();
        registration.setFullname("Ashish Srivastava");
        registration.setEmail("Ashish");
        registration.setIsRegister("0");
        registration.setPhone("xxxxxxxxxx");
        registration.setStatus("0");
        registration.setTime("1234567890");
        registration.setVehicle("12");
        Session session = this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
        session.persist(registration);
        logger.info("Person saved successfully, Registration Details="+registration);
    }

When i want get current session from session factory class it throw it

According to the comments:

Let me guess in your controller you do new RegistrationDao() instead of using the spring managed instance. – M. Deinum

---

yes i am creating a instance of this class and call the method using object – Ashish Srivastava

---

The problem is that Spring will only inject in Spring Managed Beans*. When you create a object with new then it is NOT a Spring Managed Bean!

So add @Repository Annotation to your DAO, and let the DAO injected into your controller by adding a filed with @Autowird annotation, and then use it instead of new DAO !

@Repository
public class YourDAO{
    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
    ...

    @Transactional
    public void insertCustomer(){...}
}

@Controller
public class YourController{
    @Autowired
    private YourDao yourDao;

    ... {
       this.yourDao.insertCustomer();
    }
}

* Except when @Configurable is used
