No bean named 'sessionFactory' is defined after OpenSessionInViewFilter

Question

Well, Because LazyInitializationException i needed to add the "OpenSessionViewInFilter" in my web.xml, with the following code:

<!--  openSessionInViewfilter -->
 <filter>  
        <filter-name>openSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>  
        <filter-class>org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter</filter-class>  
    </filter>  

    <filter-mapping>  
        <filter-name>openSessionInViewFilter</filter-name>  
        <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>  
    </filter-mapping>

The problem is after i added this code, i got the following error when i try start TOMCAT 7:

I don't know why this error occurrs, because i'm using Entitymanager (JPA) and not SessionFactory, see my applicationContext.xml:

Answer 1

You need to add both snippets below

<filter>
    <filter-name>OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter</filter-name>
    <filter-class>org.springframework.orm.jpa.support.OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter</filter-class>
</filter>

and

<filter-mapping>
    <filter-name>OpenEntityManagerInViewFilter</filter-name>
    <url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

Then you need to add spring-orm-{our version here}.jar to your classpath. Like this if you're using maven

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-orm</artifactId>
    <version>${spring.ver}</version>
</dependency>

--EDIT--

Sorry, I'm using JPA, your code suggests you are using hibernate3 so your filter-class should be org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter
