Hello everyone,

I'm just 2 days new to Spring technology. I've already created some POJOs and generated Hibernate mapping for these files. I wanted to Spring-enable this application for transaction/session management. Hence I went ahead and wrote one business interface from which i can call Hibernate POJOs.

I installed Eclipse plugin for Spring. So far so good. Now i need to create the "applicationContext.xml" file. Here's where the confusion is.

Can i generate this xml file automatically using this Spring plugin for Eclipse or it's for error detection? In other words, do i need to write this .xml file from the scratch?

I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me understand this.

Thanks.
