Answer 1

HibernateTemplate(doc) requires sessionFactory while creating bean.

<bean id="hibernateTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTemplate">
        <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
    </bean>

Answer 2

I think by injecting the sessionFactory in the hibernateTemplate would fix your problem. But you can completly get rid of hibernateTemplate. Try the following, It seems a better approch to me than using hibernateTemplate

UserDaoImpl file

package dao;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.*;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;

import beans.User;
@Repository
public class UserDaoImpl implements UserDao {

    @Autowired
    private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    @Override
    public void save(User user) {       
        sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(user);
    }
}

UserServiceImpl file

package service;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import beans.User;
import dao.UserDao;

@Service
public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService {

    @Autowired
    UserDao userdao;

    @Transactional
    @Override
    public void save(User user) {

        userdao.save(user);
    }
}
