Title Body

I am getting an exception saying : java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 'sessionFactory' or 'hibernateTemplate' is required When trying to use the @Repository annotation on a HibernateDaoSupport class. The error message is straightforward, in order to create the Repository it needs a sessionFactory. However,I have defined a session factory in my XML:  <bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean"> <property name="dataSource" ref="dashDataSource" /> <property name="annotatedClasses"> <list> <value>com.mycomp.myapp.Category</value> </list> </property> <property name="hibernateProperties"> <props> <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop> <prop key="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect</prop> </props> </property> </bean> So I'm not sure how to give the repository the SessionFactory that it requires while it's creating it's annotation driven beans, I attempted to do the following: @Autowired protected HibernateTemplate createHibernateTemplate(SessionFactory sessionFactory) { return super.createHibernateTemplate(sessionFactory); } But this does not solve the problem, likely because the repository needs that property while instantiating, not just when performing an action. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get around this problem because there are no constructors or initialization methods to override with a @Autowired annotation. I checked to make sure the sessionFactory bean is being created and can be Autowired, and that is fine.
