Question

I am integrating Spring and Hibernate. My spring.xml is:

<bean id="sessionFactory"
    class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
    <property name="dataSource" ref="myDataSource" />
    <property name="mappingResources">
        <list>
            <value>
                resources/User.hbm.xml
                <!-- Project.hbm.xml ProjCF.hbm.xml Task.hbm.xml TaskCF.hbm.xml Category.hbm.xml 
                    TaskEstimation.hbm.xml ProjectEstimation.hbm.xml Parameter.hbm.xml StatisticTool.hbm.xml 
                    Report.hbm.xml -->
            </value>
        </list>
    </property>
    <property name="hibernateProperties">
        <props>
            <prop key="hibernate.dialect"> org.hibernate.dialect.HSQLDialect</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
            <prop key="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">create</prop>
        </props>
    </property>
</bean>

<bean id="myUserDAO" class="main.java.com.gwt.app.server.User">
    <property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

And on my User class:

public void setSessionFactory(SessionFactory sessionFactory){
    this.hibernateTemplate = new HibernateTemplate(sessionFactory);
}

public User loadUser(String log){
    return (User)hibernateTemplate.load("User", log);
}

The problem is that hibernateTemplate is null, could anyone help me????
Thanks in advance!

You must not call new User() but you have to ask Spring for the bean (appContext.getBean("myUserDAO", User.class))
