Well what don't you understand about the errormessage

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'sessionFactory' is defined

There must be a bean named sessionFactory in your ApplicationContext if it isn't there (in 1 of your xml files) it cannot be found.

I am very new to Spring.
Well here is the application context:
Let me know what I am doing wrong.Thanx

First when posting code please use the [ code][/code ] tags... It makes your post readable.

You use the OpenSessionInViewFilter (as I see in your stacktrace) by default it looks for a bean named 'sessionFactory' your HibernateSessionFactory is called 'pcrmSessionFactory'. Specify the name on the OpenSessionInViewFilter (check the reference guide for more information).

[ssridhar]

Sorry for the inconvinience.

This is what i have in my web.xml. Do I need to make anyother enteries in any other file.?

	<context-param>
		<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
		<param-value>
			classpath*:PCRMSpring-config.xml,classpath*:PCRMHibernate-config.xml
		</param-value>
	</context-param>

	<filter>
		<filter-name>sessionFilter</filter-name>
		<filter-class>
			org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.support.OpenSessionInViewFilter
		</filter-class>
	</filter>

	<filter-mapping>
		<filter-name>sessionFilter</filter-name>
		<url-pattern>*.jsp</url-pattern>
	</filter-mapping>

	<listener>
		<listener-class>
			org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener
		</listener-class>
	</listener>

thanks for your Time and help.

[Marten Deinum]

Have you read the reference guide and javadoc for the OpenSessionInViewFilter and was my post that unclear?!

However 2 solutions

1) Rename your 'pcrmSessionFactory' to 'sessionFactrory'
2) Add a filter init-property 'sessionFactoryBeanName', which references the correct sessionFacotry in your case 'pcrmSessionFactory', to your web.xml

[Marten Deinum]

Use the search and search for lazy initialisation... A lot of posts cover that topic.

Duplicate answers regarding that topic in there....

[tony_tang]

i have the same question,the web.xml is not has question.
The name of sessionFactory is right, but this question is not resolved.
Hava any other question can lead to this condition?
