How to configure Spring framework to work with JSF - spring

Question

I am facing issue while integrating two different projects using maven.
SpringHibernateAnnotationExample is a project with services and dao related stuffs.
Test is a web based project with jsf and primefaces related jar.
Now my issue is while integrating SpringHibernateAnnotationExample into Test (Web) I am getting some problema which I will elaborate.
SpringHibernateAnnotationExample has BeanLocation.xml which is having spring configuration.
Test is having a separate applicationContext file.
Now I am configuring BeanLocation in web.xml, but when I run the application having jsf page I am getting some exception which I am unable to understand:

I know this is not a good example but my sole intention is to inject the dependency of spring related beans to a jsf/web application, where I have applicationContext in web project (Test) and other applicationContext (BeanLocation.xml) in different project.
