Spring MVC + Hibernate 4 + Spring Security - spring

Question

I have been struggling to make all of this work since days now and don't know what to do. I believe I went through every single post on the subject here on SO and went through douzens of tutorials...
Here is the message I am having at this time:
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'fruitController': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Could not autowire method: public void com.controller.FruitController.setFruitManager(com.service.FruitManager); nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No matching bean of type [com.service.FruitManager] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency. Dependency annotations: {}
I have been able to solve this error in the past, but only to have a new one "No session found for current thread". When not having this one, I got some problem with my Assembler and UserDetailsServiceImpl bean not being recognized in my spring-security.xml file...
I do not think the problem(s) come from my code, I just can't get to set my config files properly and I am probably missing something here.
Here are the config files:

Answer 1

At a glance, it seems you're suffering from a common problem of not understanding how Spring ApplicationContexts fit together to make a web application. See my other answer to exactly the same problem to see if it clears things up:
Declaring Spring Bean in Parent Context vs Child Context
You may also be enlightened by this answer on a similar topic, which links to my previously mentioned answer as well as one other:
Spring XML file configuration hierarchy help/explanation
A couple brief tips to get you headed in the right direction...
By convention, Spring's ContextLoaderListener loads beans from WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml to create the root application context. When you override the default, as you're doing, that file is no longer loaded.
Tip #1: stick with the conventional behavior. It'll make your life simpler.
Also by convention, starting up a Spring DispatcherServlet loads beans from WEB-INF/<servlet name>-context.xml to create the context used to configure the dispatcher servlet. This context becomes a child of the root context.
Tip #2: see tip #1
So you see, you're presently over-configuring things. Read the linked answers and the reference materials linked therein. Learn to work with Spring instead of against it.

Answer 2

In your web.xml file, the applicationContext.xml is never get loaded. You should put it location in context-param. Put the location of mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml (containing controller related bean) as init-param for DispatcherServlet instead:
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>

Answer 3

I think you must to use this in the DaoImpl to get the session:
#Autowired
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;
