Spring : NPE while creating beans from XML configuration

I'm working on the migration of an application using Java and the Spring framework.
The migration is a big step, the libs versions are moving as follows :
Java JDK1.6 to JDK11
Spring Framework 3.2.0 to 5.3.1
Spring Integration 3.0.0 to 5.4.1
Spring Security 3.1.0 to 5.4.2
I spent some times on the compiling issues but now I'm stuck when starting the application.
The application configuration is most of all xml beans configuration (and spring integration messaging configuration).
When starting and creating the beans, application always fails with the same NullPointerException.
Example 1 :
A simple jdbc initialize with two scripts like this :
<jdbc:initialize-database data-source="userDataSource" enabled="true" ignore-failures="DROPS">
<jdbc:script location="classpath:/security/Clear.sql" />
<jdbc:script location="#{securityUsersSql}" />
</jdbc:initialize-database>
Leads to this NPE :
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.init.DataSourceInitializer#0': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)#62794322' of type [org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.init.CompositeDatabasePopulator] while setting bean property 'databasePopulator'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#62794322': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)#6a35384f' of type [org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.init.ResourceDatabasePopulator] while setting bean property 'populators' with key [0]; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#6a35384f': Cannot create inner bean '(inner bean)#f5677960' of type [org.springframework.jdbc.config.SortedResourcesFactoryBean] while setting bean property 'scripts'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name '(inner bean)#f5677960': Unexpected exception during bean creation; nested exception is java.lang.NullPointerException

If I comment this part out, to understand and see where it leads, it comes to the Spring Integration beans part.

All those examples were working well before migration. I can't see something common between those examples or something obvious that could lead to this same NPE each time (and there are many others if I keep going).
There is something I don't understand, I'm missing out on something.
Any idea ? Thanks for help

In my application, hibernate is integrated with spring and everything was working fine till I tried to enable second level cache in my application. It has started giving me an exception. Please help, how to resolve this issue.
I am using hibernate 4.3.8.Final and spring 4.1.4.RELEASE.
Below is the full stack trace of that exception.

you should have

You have a comma instead of a dot in the cache provider config:
<property name="cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate,cache.EhCacheProvider"></property>
It should be:
<property name="cache.provider_class" value="org.hibernate.cache.EhCacheProvider"></property>

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException in Spring MVC Maven project

I know that this question has been asked an incredible amount of times, but I have followed all answers (at least that's how it feels) and still cannot figure out what is wrong and why I am getting these exceptions.
I am trying to build a simple Spring MVC webapp using Maven where I would have users in the database who would be able to log in. Followed several tutorials to do so, and everything seems to be right to me.
This is my console output:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceUtils.doCloseConnection(Ljava/sql/‌​Connection;Ljavax/sql/DataSource;)
This is generally an indication that you have either a class loading problem or are mixing spring versions. The latter is more likely.
Another thing on your configuration is that you are duplicating all your beans! Both your DispathcerServlet and ContextLoaderListener are loading the same configuration which can lead to strange problems. If you don't need a root context just remove the ContextLoaderListener. If you really need it split your configuration.
Next to that your bean configuration is flawed you are duplicating all beans in a single context as well. You are scanning for beans and as well add them as xml configuration (leading to 2 instances of a bean). Don't do that. Also the <context:property-placeholder /> is the same as PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer.
You also have 2 <tx:annotation-driven /> elements.
<context:annotation-config /> is already implied by <context:component-scan />.
All in all your configuration also needs some cleanup/love.

Resolve a circular dependency issue in Spring with `sessionFactory` and `transactionManager`

I'm using Hibernate 3.6 and Spring 3.2
I seem to have a circular dependency when I start my application.
My applicationContext.xml (simplified) looks like so:

So how can I correct my applicationContext.xml to correct the error?
UPDATE:
Per #kaviddiss suggestion I'm adding details about SessionFactoryBean
public class SessionFactoryBean extends LocalSessionFactoryBean All it does is
#Override newConfiguration() to check the server its running on and set the DB Connection String and Logging Levels(debug vs info).
I thought I had taken autowiring out of <beans ...> do I need to explicitly set it to off/disabled?

Besides the xml configuration you also have autowiring configured and these two may create the circular dependency. The stack is referring to bean property eventListener that may cause the problem. You may want to include more details on the us.ak.state.revenue.cssd.Personnel.utils.SessionFactoryBean class for more help. You could also try commenting out some sections of the XML config and/or some of the autowiring annotations until you figure out how to break the circular dependency.

Remove the Hibernate entity interceptor configuration from your XML. It is probably being picked up by the TX AOP, thus causing circular dependencies (via txManager).
Later when you will create your own interceptor, don't forget to add AopInfrastructureBean interface so that it will not be a subject of AOP wrapping.
UPDATE I've just realized that there is no pointcut definition in the XML and <tx:annotation-driven> is being used (i.e. AOP is based on #Transactional annotations). This means that my answer can not be correct.
