Hibernate sessionFactory is null

[Tony Evans]

SessionFactory is not being loaded. I think I know what the problem is , i just need someone else to confirm it.

I am using a mixture of autowire and xml, so my service bean is autowired, and calls FundRepository which is identified with the @Repository. But at the same time FundRepository is an XML defined Bean.
My question is, is it possible to mix autowired and XML defined beans ?.

Looking at my config I cant see anything wrong, but I have a hunch, that its not picking up the  FundRepository from the XML, because of the @Repository.

@Repository
public class FundRepositoryImpl implements FundRepository {

	private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

    public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
        this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
    }
    
    @Transactional
	public List<Fund> findFunds(List<Long> fundIds) {
		System.out.println();
		Session session = this.sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
		List <Fund>funds = session.createQuery("SELECT f FROM Fund f WHERE fund_id.id IN :fundIds").setParameter("fundIds", fundIds).list();
		session.close();
		return funds;
	}

The spring context is

Called from a service nean

@Service
public class FundServiceImpl extends MappEntitiesAbstract implements FundService {

	@Autowired
	private FundRepository repository;
	

	@Transactional
	public Funds listFunds(List<FundId> fundIds) {
		List<Fund> funds = repository.findFunds(mapIds(fundIds));
		return mapFunds(funds);
	}



}

It is not only safe to mix annotated and XML-wired beans, it's a very specific feature. XML always overrides annotations, so if there's a conflict you know where to look. That way you can code in defaults and keep the XML to a minimum while still being able to override the defaults without changing the class source code.

[Tony Evans]

I think the reverse is happening, because I have set my

@Repository
public class FundRepositoryImpl implements FundRepository

Its overwriting the FundRepositoryImpl in my XML.

Is there a way to say dontoverwrite the FundRepositoryImpl in my XML.

Hi ok what I needed to do was the following for my config class I added a link to pick up my Spring.xml @ImportResource("classpath:/spring.xml")

@Configuration
@EnableWebMvc
@ImportResource("classpath:/spring.xml")
@ComponentScan(basePackages = "com.cav.spring.service.bank")
public class BankServiceConfiguration {
	

}
