Spring 3 and Hibernate 4 configuration - spring

Question

I'm trying to implement the new Spring 3 and Hibernate 4 integration, using declarative transaction management. But there is very less documentation on the net. I'm always getting an error:
nested exception is org.hibernate.HibernateException: No Session found for current thread
This is how may datasource config looks like:
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName" value="org.apache.derby.jdbc.ClientDriver"/>
<property name="url" value="jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/sample;create=true;upgrade=true"/>
<property name="username" value="******"/>
<property name="password" value="******"/>
</bean>
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="packagesToScan" value="com.rpm.domain" />
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.DerbyDialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">org.hibernate.cache.internal.NoCacheProvider</prop>
<!-- <prop key="hibernate.current_session_context_class">thread</prop> -->
<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">update</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id = "transactionManager" class = "org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name = "sessionFactory" ref = "sessionFactory" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateExceptionTranslator"/>
<bean id="userAccountDAO" class="com.rpm.dao.impl.UserAccountDAO" />

Answer 2

It looks like you haven't enabled annotation based transaction. how do you implement UserAccountDAO? and which line thrown the exception?

Answer 3

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
<property name="packagesToScan">
<list>
<value>com.zeronetribe.context.model</value>
<value>com.zeronetribe.context.model.graph</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager"/>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
</bean>
