Any help will be appreciated!!!

Use
<property name="destination" ref="SMMessageQueue"/>
instead of destinationName.
Spring can resolve a destination from its name but since you have the destination, you should inject that directly.

The stack trace is telling you enough. I have the same problems and solved it by renaming "datasource" to "dataSource". That thing is case sensitive so be careful. Hope that helps.

Configuting Spring with Hibernate.Error creating bean with name 'usersDao': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'sessionFactory'

I am trying to configure Spring 4 with Hibernate 5.Made a google research but it didn't help. I am launching my app with JUnit test, just to see if Hibernate works.
Error creating bean with name 'usersDao': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'sessionFactory': Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [ConfigTest/datasource.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.<init>(Lorg/hibernate/boot/MetadataSources;)V; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'sessionFactory' defined in class path resource [ConfigTest/datasource.xml]: Invocation of init method failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.hibernate.cfg.Configuration.<init>(Lorg/hibernate/boot/MetadataSources;)V
This is my datasource.xml

Also When I use Hibernate 4 I face an error :
Exception encountered during context initialization - cancelling refresh attempt: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'offersDao': Injection of autowired dependencies failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/hibernate/cache/spi/RegionFactory
but I do have RegionFactory at that address:
enter image description here
Thanful in advance!

It appears that the packagesToScan property wants an array.
In your case, I suppose it would look like this...
<property name="packagesToScan">
<array>
<value>DAO</value>
</array>
</property>
Or maybe simply...
<property name="packagesToScan" value="DAO" />

The problem was in compatability of versions. So I used Spring 4.0.3.RELEASE and Hibernate 4.3.5.Final and the error is gone.
Also I had an error : no current session found. So I've refractored a little a transaction bean :
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.DataSourceTransactionManager">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"></property>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven />

Hibernate placeholder ignored

I'm developing a simple standalone Java application using Spring and Hibernate to try to learn them.
I'm having some problems in the configuration of Spring and Hibernate, in order to really create some "useful" result from the code...
I've tried to follow the examples as reported in the book "Beginning Hibernate 2nd edition" and "Pro Spring 3", but i'm having , regarding Hibernate, this problem (i'm using log4j for the logging) :
1824 [main] INFO org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory - Destroying singletons in org.springframework.beans.factory.support.DefaultListableBeanFactory#38638273: defining beans [dataSource,sessionFactory,transactionManager,org.springframework.aop.config.internalAutoProxyCreator,org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0,org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionInterceptor#0,org.springframework.transaction.config.internalTransactionAdvisor,org.springframework.context.annotation.internalConfigurationAnnotationProcessor,org.springframework.context.annotation.internalAutowiredAnnotationProcessor,org.springframework.context.annotation.internalRequiredAnnotationProcessor,org.springframework.context.annotation.internalCommonAnnotationProcessor,org.springframework.context.annotation.internalPersistenceAnnotationProcessor,personaDao,org.springframework.context.annotation.ConfigurationClassPostProcessor.importAwareProcessor]; root of factory hierarchy

It seems that the placeholder is ignored in the parsing of the configuration files
Here i've have copied an extract of them :

jdbc.password=password
if i substitute all the placeholders with their values, the program goes on and it connects to the db (if i substitute only one...the error "goes" to the next one)
then it return an incorrect result (an empty list when it should return a list with one element) but maybe i'll ask about it later, if i can't solve it.
Any suggestion?

I don't see any PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer declared in your context. How are property placeholders supposed to be resolved?
One solution is to add
<context:property-placeholder location="classpath:jdbc.properties"/>
to your context.

The persistence.xml is located in src/META-INF, which is in the build path, so it should be found properly. Anyone have any ideas?

Well I usually place the persistence.xml in a resources folder /src/main/resouces/META-INF/persistence.xml because I do remember problems in the build not copying the resources to the output-directory.
I just had a look at our configuration and it looks a little different:
<!--

-->
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="entityManagerFactory"/>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven mode="aspectj" proxy-target-class="true" />
<!--

keep your persistence.xml in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml
remove hibernate conflicting libraries....
remove hibernate - 3.2.0 jar if hibernate core is there

place the persistence.xml in a resources folder /src/main/resouces/META-INF/persistence.xml for me it's work this solution

This error can happen if you have a hibernate mapped class with relations with another non-mapped class, a solution is to check the relation item as #transient (hibernate will ignore it, use this just to check if this is the error, and later map the related class). Example:
#Entity
public class City {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.AUTO)
private int id;
private String name;
#Transient
private State state;
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public void setId(int id) {
this.id = id;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public State getState() {
return state;
}
public void setState(State state) {
this.state = state;
}
}
And this is the non-mapped class which may give the error:
public class State {
private String name;
}
