Question

I checked for duplication of libraris such us log4j and slf4j

please help me understand the reason, thanks in advance.

    }
}

This is my applicationContext.xml

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-3.1.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context
http://www.springframework.org/schema/context/spring-context-3.1.xsd">

    <!-- Database Configuration -->
    <import resource="../database/DataSource.xml"/>
    <import resource="../database/Hibernate.xml"/>

    <!-- Auto scan the components -->
    <context:component-scan base-package="employee" />

    <bean class="employee.service.impl.AdminServiceImpl"/>
    <bean class="employee.service.impl.UserServiceImpl"/>
    <bean class="employee.DAO.impl.EmployeeInfoDAOImpl"/>
    <bean class="employee.DAO.impl.EmployeeDivDAOImpl"/>
    <bean class="employee.DAO.impl.UserDAOImpl"/>

</beans>

Solution

The log states: "No matching bean of type [org.hibernate.SessionFactory] found for dependency: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate for this dependency".

You could define it in the applicationContext.xml as shown in this question. Using ApplicationContext in Spring MVC.

It would be something like

<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
        <property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"></property>
        <property name="mappingResources">
          <list>
            <value>UserAccount.hbm.xml</value>
            ...
          </list>
        </property>
        <property name="hibernateProperties">
          <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</prop>
            </props>
        </property>
      </bean>

Hope it helps.
