Hibernate Template fails in EAP6, works in 4.3 no matching editors or conversion stra

[JavaGeek_Boston]

Hello
I have an app I am porting from JBoss 4.3 to EAP6. It works in 4.3, but fails in EAP6. The 4.3 version is heavily tested in JDK6 and appears to work in JDK7. I'm working in JDK7 now.


The error I see is :

Cannot convert value of type [org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFac toryBean] to required type [org.hibernate.SessionFactory] for property 'sessionFactory': no matching editors or conversion strategy found

Between the EAP 4.3 and 6.0 artifacts, the jars appear to be identical. Any leads or suggestions for troubleshooting? I have confirmed that the Spring and Hibernate jars have not changed. I had to do some repackaging of jboss-web.xml and web.xml to get it running, but have otherwise not modified the classpath. I get this error both in Spring 3.0.6 and 3.1.1.

Thanks in advance!
Steven

This is the class that fails:

When I inject the code, I get:
