after executing this application i got HibernateTemplate reference as null but all beans are pre-instantiated properly. whr shuld i change the code,, please help me regarding this,, when i run same application from console based test case(Main method den it works fyn) bt from Controller class when i call DAO method den java.lang.NullPointerException occurs.

Please use [ code][/code ] tags when posting code.!!!! :mad: :mad:

1) Don't use HibernateDaoSupport and HibernateTemplate both should be considered deprecated as of hibernate 3.0.1 (about 2007)
2) Your addUser method is flawed.
3) Judging from your stack trace you are creating a new instance yourself instead of using the configured instance from the application context (for a solution please use the search as that question has been answered numerous times before).

i m not creating any new instance just getting the HIbernateTemplate reference from the HibernateDAOSupport class method plzz help me wht shuld i do? where is the error? in my addUser() method,

The getHiberateTemplate() is returning you a non null instance? I hope the User instance you are providing is not null.

Also take your time to go through the entire forum and post your question under the relevant sub forum, this question would have been more appropriate here. This not only keeps the forum clean, but also increases your changes of getting the answer.

User instance is not null, i have checked it,, whr is the problm i m nt understanding?

Couple of more things.
1. Is you application working when you are using the local managed datasource in spring like say the DriverManagerDatasource rather than the one looked up using JNDI?
2. Is your User class having the necessary annotations to make it an Entity. Can you post the User.java code here?
use the [ CODE ] tags while posting the code as Marten pointed out earlier

thx to all for reply,, i got the solution yippey its working properly :),, i ws creating UserDAO instance in COntroller manually not taking controller as spring managed bean so container not injecting the userdao with its properties,,

SO as I already stated, and you argued against, you where actually creating a new instance. The getHibernateTemplate cannot return null if you use the instance from the configuration. If that dao isn't configured correctly it will throw an exception which basically stops your application from loading.

However my points still stand.
