Need help with OpenSessionInViewFilter

I have read all the posts and blogs on this subject and I have implemented it to the best of my knowledge but it does not work. I still get the org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException.

Here's my web.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE web-app PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD Web Application 2.3//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/dtd/web-app_2_3.dtd'>

<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>

<welcome-file>

</welcome-file>
</welcome-file-list>

</web-app>

Here's the snippet from my tess-servlet.xml

<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource" destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName">
<value>net.sourceforge.jtds.jdbc.Driver</value>
</property>
<property name="url">
<value>jdbc:jtds:sqlserver://localhost/company</value>
</property>
<property name="username">
<value>sa</value>
</property>
<property name="password">
<value>password</value>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSes sionFactoryBean">
<property name="mappingDirectoryLocations">
<list>
<value>classpath:/com/company/tess/objects</value>
</list>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.SQLS erverDialect</prop>
</props>
</property>
<property name="dataSource">
<ref bean="dataSource"/>
</property>
</bean>

One thing I have noticed is that the log file shows all the hibernate mappings happening twice.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
