there are libraries in springhib\WebContent\WEB-INF\lib
OK. first off, looking at that tutorial link. I recommend NOT using that tutorial. It looks like a very recent post, and most of it is using recent stuff.
But his Spring MVC is old style, which is NOT recommended to use.
In his code he extends a Spring controller class, this is a really bad design because now your Controller is tightly couple with Spring. Your Controller should be a POJO.
So while I am ok with most of their middle tier code, He uses the term DAO, most Spring people call it a Repository.
But the MVC stuff is NOT TO BE followed. Please try to find another tutorial to follow.
As far as your error, it is a Hibernate error trying to do some cast.
