Cannot find class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean - spring

Question

I am developing spring mvc3 + hibernate application using eclipse and maven. The war file generated by maven is working fine when deployed on standalone tomcat 7 but when I run the application on tomcat embedded in eclipse it gives me following error :
[ERROR] [main 07:30:30] (ContextLoader.java:initWebApplicationContext:307) Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'helloController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire field: private com.mkyong.common.services.ProductServices com.mkyong.common.controller.HelloController.productService; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.CannotLoadBeanClassException: **Cannot find class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean] for bean with** name 'sessionFactory' defined in ServletContext resource [/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean

The error I am getting is Cannot find class [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean
I have spring orm 3.1.2 jar file in my path then also I am getting this error.
Please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I am able to resolve this issue by using maven command 'maven clean' before 'maven compile','maven eclipse:eclipse' and maven war:war.
So now application is running fine on tomcat embedded in eclipse. Earlier my application was running only on standalone tomcat when I was deploying war created by maven.
