Error defining OpenSessionInViewFilter

Question

I came from LazyInitializationException with hibernate and spring mvc, but now the problem is this error:

org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No bean named 'sessionFactory' is defined
at org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory.getBeanDefinition(DefaultListableBeanFactory.java:660)

My web.xml is:

        <filter-name>hibernateFilter</filter-name>
        <url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
    </filter-mapping>

</web-app>

and in my servlet-context.xml the Session Factory is defined like this:

...

<!-- Hibernate session factory -->
<beans:bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <beans:property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
    <!-- Annotated hibernate clasess -->
    <beans:property name="packagesToScan" value="org.example.myproject.domains"/>

    <beans:property name="hibernateProperties">
        <beans:props>
            <beans:prop key="hibernate.connection.pool_size">${hibernate.pool_size}</beans:prop>
            <beans:prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</beans:prop>
            <beans:prop key="hibernate.cache.provider_class">${hibernate.provider_class}</beans:prop>
            <beans:prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</beans:prop>
            <beans:prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">${hibernate.hbm2ddl}</beans:prop>
        </beans:props>
    </beans:property>

</beans:bean>

...

Why is this hapening? it seems like i have a wrong *.xml definition, can you help me please?

isn't the root-context.xml conflicting with the servlet-context.xml? — fmodos, Dec 10 '14 at 14:02
i don't know what is the purpose of that file (`root-context.xml`), is empty — , Dec 10 '14 at 14:19

You don't have to delete the root-context.xml, because there is where you have to put all your beans to be shared and to make it visibles to web.xml and servlet-context.xml, and to the hibernateFilter that you have, because now he "is not seeing any sessionFactory bean. Look at this related post: Spring, Hibernate Lazy Loading, sessionFactory, and OpenSessionInViewFilter.

Good luck!
