Spring and Hibernate problem

Hi,

Am trying out a simple example using Spring3.1 and Hibernate 4.x and am getting this exception

Can anybody help me where am wrong?

Thanks

Its a issue with Jar Files. Looks like you are having 2 versions of spring containing the SessionHolder class.
Can you post the list of jars from your WEB-INF/lib?

This is how .classpath in my STS proj looks

Jar Files looks OK. But, i can see in the XML you use hibernate4 classes like org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager and org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean, but you import hibernate3 classes in your Java code as org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTemplate.

Can you make them consistent and try once?
