test integration for dao in JEE architecture

[onepseudoxy]

i want to implement a test for the dao classes, but while acting in the same way as in the spring by example (partIII.persistence chapter : Simple Spring Transactional JUnit 4
Test)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:tx="http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx.xsd">
<import resource="classpath:WebContent/WEB-INF/DispatcherServlet-servlet.xml"/>
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager"
p:sessionFactory-ref="sessionFactory" />
<tx:annotation-driven/>
<bean id="informationDAO" class="ma.lcaMaroc.domain.dao.hibernate3.InformationDAOImp" 
p:sessionFactory-ref="sessionFactory" />
</beans>

the matter is that p:sessionFactory-ref="sessionFactory", because of using the HibernateTemplate instead of SessionFactory.
so here is the "DispatcherServlet-servlet.xml" file:

<flex:message-broker>
	<flex:remoting-service default-channels="my-amf"/>
</flex:message-broker>

<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="ma.lcaMaroc"/>
	
	<bean id="dataSource"
			class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DriverManagerDataSource">
			<property name="driverClassName" value="com.mysql.jdbc.Driver"></property>
			<property name="url" value="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/lcadb"></property>
			<property name="username" value="root"/>
			
	</bean>
	
	<bean id="sessionFactory"
		class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
		<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
		<property name="packagesToScan" value="ma.lcaMaroc" />
		<property name="hibernateProperties">
			<props>
				<prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop>
				<prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>				
			</props>
		</property>
	</bean>
	
	<bean id="hibernateTemplate" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate">
		<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory"/>
	</bean>
	
	<!-- ******DAO************DAO************DAO************DAO************DAO************DAO************DAO****** -->

	<bean id="informationDAO" class="ma.lcaMaroc.domain.dao.hibernate3.InformationDAOImp" lazy-init="true">
		<property name="template" ref="hibernateTemplate" />
	</bean>

And your problem is?!

some other advices

1) Don't use HibernateTemplate/HibernateDaoSupport it isn't recommended anymore
2) You have 2 instances of your dao, don't do that...
3) You don't need context:annotation-config that is already implied by the component-scan
