I am try to implement SpringMVC 4 and Hibernate 4 integration with annotation in my project but I am getting this error:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in com.config.ApplicationContextConfig: Bean instantiation via factory method failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [org.hibernate.SessionFactory]: Factory method 'getSessionFactory' threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/orm/hibernate4/SpringSessionContext

It appears that you need, but do not have spring-orm-4.3.0.RELEASE.jar on your classpath. (I have identified the 4.3.0 version, you may be using a different 4.X version).
If you are using Maven, add the appropriate dependency to your pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
<version>4.3.0.RELEASE</version>
<scope>runtime</scope>
</dependency>
If you are not using Maven, you can download the jar file here.
For information on setting the classpath see this section of the Java Tutorial.
