Answer 1

As the error: Error creating bean with name 'sf' defined in class path resource [resouce/springXML.xml] says spring is not able create bean with name 'sf' defined in springXML.xml.
And the subsequent error :
Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/cfg/AnnotationConfiguration
says the class is not present. It could be that you have not added the required hibernate dependency or the application is not built correctly.
Please check the dependency and try rebuilding the application.

Answer 2

Use org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration in place of org.hibernate.cfg.AnnotationConfiguration.
