Cannot find class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean] - spring

Question

I am new to spring framework. I am trying to set up Java EE web application using Spring 4 and Hibernate 5. But I am running into following error while running the app on a server. I have spend whole day stuck at this problem. Please help me find the problem. Also, I have general difficulty in understanding the configuration of a Java + Spring + Hibernate project. Is there any good materials that explain how to set up bean, etc.

Answer 1

in your <session-factory> of hibernate.cfg.xml file,
use <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</property>
in place of <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</property>
and add following dependency to your pom.xml
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
<version>5.1.5.RELEASE</version>
and your bean for dispatcher-servlet.xml will be like,
<bean id="mysessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="ds"></property>
<!-- following bean is required only in case of using hbm.xml file, not needed in case of using annotations -->
<!-- <property name="mappingResources">
<list>
<value>employee.hbm.xml</value>
</list>
</property> -->
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQL5Dialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
