LocalSessionFactoryBean cannot be injected as SessionFactory

Question

The injection of my sessionFacotry bean into my transactionManager bean failed. It seems that the sessionFactory bean type (ie LocalSessionFactoryBean ) is not recognized as SessionFactory type by the container, and therefore it is not injected into the transactionManager bean.

My configuration class :

@Configuration
@PropertySource("classpath:jdbc.properties")
public class HibernateConfig {

    @Autowired
    private Environment env;

    @Bean(name="dataSource")
    public DataSource getDataSource() throws PropertyVetoException{
        ComboPooledDataSource dataSource = new ComboPooledDataSource();
        dataSource.setDriverClass(env.getProperty("db.driverClass"));
        dataSource.setJdbcUrl(env.getProperty("db.jdbcUrl"));
        dataSource.setUser(env.getProperty("db.user"));
        dataSource.setPassword(env.getProperty("db.password"));
        dataSource.setMaxPoolSize(50);
        dataSource.setMinPoolSize(5);
        dataSource.setMaxConnectionAge(1800);
        dataSource.setMaxIdleTime(1800);
        dataSource.setAutoCommitOnClose(false);
        dataSource.setInitialPoolSize(5);       
        return dataSource;
    }

    @Bean(name="sessionFactory")
    @Scope("singleton")
    public  LocalSessionFactoryBean getSessionFactory(javax.sql.DataSource dataSource){
        LocalSessionFactoryBean localSessionFactoryBean = new LocalSessionFactoryBean();
        Properties hibernateProperties = new Properties();
        hibernateProperties.setProperty("hibernate.dialect", env.getProperty("db.dialect"));
        hibernateProperties.setProperty("hibernate.jdbc.batch_size", "0");
        hibernateProperties.setProperty("c3p0.acquire_increment", "1");
        localSessionFactoryBean.setHibernateProperties(hibernateProperties);
        return localSessionFactoryBean;
    }

    @Bean(name="transactionManager")
    public HibernateTransactionManager getTransactionManager(org.hibernate.SessionFactory sessionFactory){
        HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager = new HibernateTransactionManager();
        return transactionManager;
    }
}

My stacktrace output :

Any idea please?

Set the sessionFactory for the transactionManager

@Bean(name="transactionManager")
public HibernateTransactionManager getTransactionManager(SessionFactory sessionFactory){
    HibernateTransactionManager transactionManager = new HibernateTransactionManager();
    transactionManager.setSessionFactory(sessionFactory); // <--
    return transactionManager;
}
