I am using hibernate 4 spring 3 maven 3, i have this configuratiobn file and here I am using local session factory and it compile correctly but it gives the error when I am using the JBoss server to deploy it then server console gives the error 'configurationClass' is not writable or has an invalid setter method. Does the parameter type of the setter match the return type of the getter? please help me to sort out this problem

Answer 1

Your bean definition suggests that you are trying to configure Hibernate 3, not Hibernate 4. You have probably followed incorrect example or tutorial. In Hibernate 4 there is no configurationClass property. Just remove it:

<bean id="usermanagementSessionFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="usermanagementDataSource" />
    <property name="configLocation" value="classpath:hibernate.cfg.xml" />
    <property name="hibernateProperties" ref="hibernateProperties" />
</bean>

With Hibernate 4, you also don't need to provide configuration XML. All you can do is to specify packages to be scanned for @Entity classes:

    <property name="packagesToScan" value="com.ecom.data.access.model" />
