BeanCreationException spring hibernate jsf - spring

Question

So I have a huge update. I finally got my sessionFactory to initialize and not be null. I still have (hopefully) the last problem.
I am getting the following stacktrace when I go to store the data in the DAO file.

As your current pom file is only using the hibernate-core dependency, it seems that the cache extension is not being added.
Try adding the hibernate-ehcache dependency to your pom file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.hibernate</groupId>
<artifactId>hibernate-ehcache</artifactId>
<version>4.1.7.Final</version>
</dependency>
