Please help if you can find anything wrong.
[VK: Added code tags]

[Jayant Kaushal]

Please Help is there is any Spring Jar mismatch or hibernate mapping issue

[Vijitha Kumara]

Please use code tags when posting code in the forums (UseCodeTags).

Where your mapping files exist in the application hierarchy? I suggest you first try with only one mapping file and see whether it works. So that you can identify the file(s) with the issue. Looks like the content not well-formed.
