Spring Security: Unable to autowired sessionFactory in the UsersDAOImpl

[Burak Keceli]

Hello everybody,

I'm trying to map the users to the Spring Security users. However my UsersDAOImpl class cannot be autowired sessionFactory property.

My spring-security.xml

And I get this error:

Dependency annotations: {@org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}.

Before adding security part, everything was perfectly working. I do not understand what happened.
Thanks for everything

[Prasad Krishnegowda]

you are declaring bean of type org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean in your springmvc-servlet.xml file and trying to autowire org.hibernate.SessionFactory in UsersDAOImpl class and also you are using both autowired and setter based dependency injection for the same property(sessionFactory), I can't understand why.

[Burak Keceli]

I see your point about autowired and setter dependency injection. I deleted these two beans.

<bean id="usersDAO" class="com.memorize.dao.impl.UsersDAOImpl">
		<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>
	
<bean id="customUserDetailsService" class="com.memorize.service.CustomUserDetailsService">
		<property name="usersDAO" ref="usersDAO" />
</bean>

But I did not understand "org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean" and "org.hibernate.SessionFactory" issue. What should I do? SessionFactory is only importted by org.hibernate.SessionFactory

[Prasad Krishnegowda]

Can you try setter based injection, instead of autowired for the sessionFactory?
Also, are you sure you have hibernate4 jars and no hibernate3 jars are present?
