    </beans>

Error creating bean with name
‘sessionFactory’ defined in class path
resource [applicationContext.xml]:
Invocation of init method failed;
nested exception is
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor.visit(IILjava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;[Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/String;)V

any suggestion would be heplful

Answer 1

Your exception

nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.objectweb.asm.ClassVisitor.visit

Hibernate depends on asm

Go to Spring installation directory and include all of jars in the following folders

<SPRING_HOME>/lib/asm/
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/dom4j/
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/antlr/
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/jakarta-commons/
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/javassist
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/cglib/
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/hibernate // without hibernate-entitymanager.jar
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/slf4j/
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/j2ee/persistence.jar
<SPRING_HOME>/lib/j2ee/jta.jar

I hope now it runs ok

Do not forget include MySQL driver if you do not want to see a new exception
