Problem: The problem in Configuration file.
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"></property>
<!-- Configuring the Hibernate properties -->
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</prop>
<prop key="hbm2ddl.auto">${hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto}</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.current_session_context_class">${hibernate.current_session_context_class}</prop>
</props>
</property>
<property name="annotatedClasses">
<list>
<value>com.ranga.Employee</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hibernate.current_session_context_class is required only for JTA transactions.
Solution: Remove the hibernate.current_session_context_class property in sessionFactory. Now the code looks like
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"></property>
<!-- Configuring the Hibernate properties -->
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">${hibernate.dialect}</prop>
<prop key="hbm2ddl.auto">${hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto}</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">${hibernate.show_sql}</prop>
</props>
</property>
<property name="annotatedClasses">
<list>
<value>com.ranga.Employee</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
